It has been absolutely beautiful the past few days. A little chilly in the evenings, but blue skies everyday that put me in the best of moods. A good mood always leads to healthy delicious meals. Today it was straight to shrimp tacos. Not sure how this came into my mind, but when it didn't it wouldn't leave. I thought about these shrimp tacos ALL DAY LONG. I think what I was super exited about was my watermelon salsa that I make to go with the shrimp tacos. It is so simple, healthy, and delicious.
I also made my version of black beans to serve with my tacos. They are amazing because I add bacon to them. I mean lets be real, what doesn't get better with bacon? All things in moderation right? Okay lets get to dinner because I know you are hungry!

Add in your broth and allow the mixture to come to a boil.
Simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
When most of the liquid is gone, using the back of a spatula, press the black bean mixture into the pan to break them up a bit. I don't like my beans completely smooth so don't over press. Add salt and pepper to taste.
