2 cups diced tomatoes
4 cups diced romaine lettuce or cabbage
1 cup salsa of your choice – traditional, mango, tomatillo

Instructions
Heat the black beans in a saucepan or in the microwave oven for a few minutes until heated through. If you want to spice them up you could add some cumin, chilli powder or hot sauce.
Wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel & microwave for about a minute or until they are softened. If you prefer, put them into a toaster oven until toasted to your desired crispness.
To prepare the tacos, place about 1/4 cup black beans into each taco shell then top with diced tomatoes, red onion, avocado, hot sauce or salsa & lettuce.
