If you’ve been following me for a while now you’ll know my family have been on a gluten free journey of sorts the last few months and it has been by choice. We’ve found that we feel satiated at the end of our meals and not left with that disgusting bloating feeling that gluten loaded foods were leaving us with. These gluten free black bean quinoa tacos are delicious, healthy, and you’ll want to make it again and again…as we have so many times already! Enjoy!
