You can use one package of store-bought taco seasoning if you would rather.
I like to add the black beans and corn to my nachos. I whole heartedly believe, black beans, sour cream, salsa and jalapeños go together and they really should never be separated. 🤣
But, sometimes I cannot find the black beans in a can. I do have some black beans that are dehydrated, but I am not always responsible and plan ahead to re-hydrate them. And therefore, I did not have cilantro or black beans the other night for this delicious feast.
Cilantro is so hard to come by here, only one of the grocery stores here carries it. And it is a German based store.
This concludes our Mexican week of food. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed eating it!
