Tex Mex Black Beans

So I kept seeing these Austin Style Black Beans on several blogs that looked absolutely amazing.  I wanted to make them but deviated quite a bit from the actual recipe. 

Even though I altered the recipe. They turned out amazing and we all loved them!

I made some spicy taco meat along with the beans and we used both the meat and the beans for several meals. 

They may not look the prettiest but they for sure awesome.  Not only did we have tacos, we had potato nachos and I even put the beans on my eggs in the morning!  Yes, clearly I love beans.
