Spicy Bean and Cheese Tacos

2 words. Taco Cabana.

I sorta had a little Taco Cabana addiction when I was in high school. At lunch, we would race to see who could get off campus and down Nacogdoches to the closest T.C. and get their chips and queso order in first! First to the table won!!!

Bean and Cheese Tacos were always a fave then too. Today, I prefer them a bit spicier. These will kick up the spice factor a few notches.

Would be great for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Or perhaps even a midnight snack.
