Lighter Chipotle Beef Tacos are an easy recipe for a healthier beef taco. {Gluten Free}

Back when Mike and I were first married, I tried to cook dinner every night. At the time, I was still working and often ended up at the office much later than he was. He could tell how tired I was after working 10+ hour days and wanted to help with dinner. He has always made a mean frozen pizza and used to cook a lot during his bachelor days. He told me he used to make tacos all of the time – meat plus a seasoning kit. Oy! I was excited for tacos, but my first thought was…where are the vegetables? He is very good at following a recipe, so we decided that I needed to come up with a healthier beef taco recipe that is easy to make….

Get a protein-packed breakfast in minutes with this Spicy Black Bean Breakfast Burger. Perfect for when you want something quick, healthy and delicious!

Lately, I have been feeling more tired than usual and end up hungry in the late mornings. With intense morning workouts and spending long days caring for the kids, I am thinking it might be time to change up my breakfast routine and get a little more protein. My usual breakfast consists of oatmeal with cocoa powder, flax seed meal and a banana.

While I occasionally deviate to something with a little more protein, like Greek yogurt with berries or a smoothie, it always comes back to carb-heavy oatmeal. It’s quick to make, and I really like a hot breakfast. Thankfully this Spicy Black Bean Breakfast Burger has become the protein-packed solution to my breakfast woes.
