Yummy and Easy Tacos

Need a really easy dinner tonight! Go for tacos! They are versatile, delicious, and extremely easy to do!
Ingredients:
1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup of chicken broth
cumin
red pepper flake
1 white onion
1 clove of garlic
flour tortillas
salsa, homemade or store bought
lettuce, shredded
cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tbsp of vegetable oil.
salt and pepper to taste
either chicken, pork, or beef(whatever you like)

Directions:
Start to cook the meat you desire. Season it however you like. For example, I took ground beef and cooked it with 1/2 of a chopped white onion and 1/2 of a garlic clove, chopped. I seasoned it with seasoned salt, some cumin, and pepper. Once the meat is done, drain off excess fat and set aside. While the meat is cooking, saute 1/4 of white onion diced on medium for 5 minutes, seasoned with some salt and pepper. Then add half of a clove of minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Put a 1/2 tsp of cumin and a pinch of red pepper flake and cook for 1 minute. Add your beans and cook for 2 minutes. Next add the chicken broth, turn the heat up to high, and boil the meat for 5 minutes. Then turn off the heat and mash it with a potato masher or a fork til it looks like re-fried beans. Taste and add more seasoning if necessary. Finally make your tacos. Put 1 tsp of bean puree, spread it around. Then add 2 tsps of cheese and then your meat. Putting enough to almost cover the layer of cheese. Finally cover it with 1 tsp of salsa and some lettuce. You may add some sour cream or hot sauce on this if desired. Next, folding your taco. First, fold it in half, tuck it the sides, and roll it over on the rest of the tortilla. Once its folded, put it in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes. And enjoy!
