Season 08 - Lunch / S08L15
Black Bean and Spinach Tacos
Story
The first time Don Luis made these tacos, it was a rainy afternoon and his granddaughter didn’t want to eat her greens. He smiled, put on his signature jean-and-leather apron (with “Don Luis” stitched across the chest), and told her, *“Let me show you how even spinach can be your best amigo in a taco.”* 🥬🌮 With the smell of sizzling garlic in the air and salsa beats in the background, Don Luis built little tacos filled with sautéed spinach, creamy black beans, and a touch of love. By the end of lunch, the plate was empty, and the spinach had a new fan. 🥰 Now, every taco night in the rustic kitchen includes these veggie-packed wonders. Time & Nutrition
