Black Bean Chicken Tacos

This recipe I originally came across on skinnytaste.com . Gina has some wonderful recipes on her blog, and all of them are Weight Watchers friendly with the pointsplus values included! Her blog is definitely one of my favorite food blogs for new recipe ideas! You can find this original recipe here.

Of course, I changed the recipe up just a bit when making it at home. I chose not to make the slaw topping, and we had them as soft tacos instead of crunchy. I also "spiced" it up a little more than her recipe called for. I think either way you go, this dinner will hit the spot! It was an easy dinner that I put in the crockpot before work, and once I got home I just had to spend few minutes making plates, and dinner was on the table!
