You can substitute Black Beans for recipes that call for meat. The Cool & Crunchy Tacos made as a salad are fine with just doubling the beans and skipping the chicken.The Chipotle Chili Cornbread Bake can also be done. Just skip the meat and use more beans or additional variety (dark red kidney or pinto beans).
