Introduce your meatless Mondays to Taco Tuesdays… or Tex-Mex Tuesdays, whatever alliteration works for you. In fact, the most important introduction will be your mouth to this fiesta of flavor. Black beans flavored with chile and cumin seasoning are added to corn and poblano, filling these tortillas with bulky flavor. Queso fresco, cilantro, and crunchy onions top these tacos with tangible, toothsome, Texas-tinged tastes. Whatever day, these are delights. Tip: Easier way to mince cilantro? Gather them all in one hand and lay on the cutting board. Use your knife in rocking motion to cut, then turn 90 degrees and repeat until the herbs are properly minced!

Meat lovers! Cook proteins in a large non-stick pan over medium heat with 2 tsp. olive oil .If using diced chicken, pat dry, season all over with ¼ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using shrimp, pat dry and season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed until seared on one side, 2-3 minutes. Flip, and cook until shrimp reaches minimum internal temperature, 1-2 minutes. If using steak strips, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until no pink remains and steak strips reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-6 minutes. Add to tacos as desired.
