Black Bean Tacos

This picture shows a combination of three different recipes:

Frijoles Negros Cubanos: Cuban Black Beans; my version
Braised Swiss Chard with Caramelized Onions
Chipotle Salsa

Those last two recipes can be found in Rick Bayless's excellent book Mexican Everyday. I fell in love with the man on Top Chef Masters, and this book is a work of genius.

Since those recipes belong to him and not me, I won't be copying them down verbatim, but rather providing an overview of what goes into them. The recipe for Cuban Black Beans is my simple version of a classic dish. It's one of my absolute favorite recipes.

And now, I am off to make tabouleh!
