Meatless taco salad. YUM! (and it's cheap, too)

I'll start with a photo so you can get excited to try this.

Here it is before it is 'tossed' and mixed together.  Pretty, heh?

What you'll need:

2 cans of black beans
some pico de gallo or fresh salsa  (your choice)
tortilla chips (whatever type you like)
sliced olives
lettuce (torn into small bits or sliced julienne style)
grated cheddar
sour cream
avacado
Chipotle flavored Tobasco  (I love this stuff!)

Open the beans and heat them on the stove (don't drain them.  Just put it all in a pot) or in the microwave.

Assemble your items 'buffet style' on the counter or table and let everyone build their own.

Begin by putting a pile of chips in your bowl.   Press on them to crush them into bite-sized pieces. 
Next, in whatever order you prefer, layer on the available ingredients and don't forget the beans over there on the stove.

 Now stir it all together and take it outside to enjoy the sunshine while you eat.

This is such a yummy meal.   It's  so easy that my daughter enjoys putting it together. 

It would also be good with some taco meat, if you prefer to have meat.   I've done chicken taco meat before and it was quite tasty.
