Steak & Black Bean Tacos

Gosh I feel like too many days have passed since I posted a blog! We've been kind of busy transitioning after the holidays (packing up decorations, making room for all the new additions...my son's new additions, that is!) We finally have everything settled so now I can get back into posting more regularly :)

Here is a recipe I have had sitting in my "to make" folder for quite a while...years if I had to guess. Yes, I am a huge recipe collector of various different magazines I subscribe to and hundreds of recipe e-newsletters, in addition to the greatness of Pinterest. Needless to say, I have way too many recipes lying around and filling up my email account, that I will be lucky to actually get around to making them.

These easy tacos only need a few ingredients and only take a few minutes to make. The pepper-jack cheese add a little kick of heat, the avocado helps cool it down. You will need to roll your sleeves up for this one, enjoy!
