Notes
Link to Mango Jalapeno Salsa Whole wheat tortillas When shopping for whole wheat tortillas, be sure to check the ingredients. You want whole wheat flour to be the first ingredient and preferably the only type of flour. Enriched wheat flour or wheat flour are other ways to say white flour. Avoid the word HYDROGENATED. This is code for trans fat! You want to avoid that at all costs. Seasoned Black Beans My go to seasoned black beans are Simple Truth Organic Seasoned Black beans at Kroger. If you have a can of plain black beans, no worries. After you drain them well sprinkle the following on top and stir well:- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder or smoked paprika (optional)
