Notes

If you're not using my Spicy Charro Pinto Beans recipe for the beans in these tacos, you'll want to do one of two things: 1) Use other fully flavored beans or 2) Amp up the flavor of plain pinto beans with jalapeño, cilantro, onion, tomato and/or Mexican oregano.

Good Hot Sauce Options: Cholula, Chipotle Tabasco and Valentina

Pico de gallo would be delicious here, as well as any type of salsa you enjoy.
