I love tacos and if you have been following my blog you know I love cooking with peppers. This Four-Pepper Black Bean Fajitas recipe is simple and not time-consuming. It only required cooking peppers and onions and blending the ingredients for the black bean. I have actually made this before a long time ago, but when I did I mistakenly used more than 1 chipotle in adobe sauce–lets just say I experienced a Thai Hot moment. Chipotle peppers in adobe sauce are something serious. You only need 1 for a strong kick of heat. View my previous blog post Pep it up! to learn the health benefits to eating peppers. 

Here’s to the recipe…
