Black Bean Fajitas

Mmmm! This colorful recipe is great for when you are craving Mexican food but don't want all the carbs, calories and cholesterol! It's lite but so filling. Get satisfied without getting a big belly!

I was actually too lazy to thaw out frozen meat to make fajitas so I decided to replace the meat with black beans. Glad I did. This is my own little recipe but it's a winner at our house.
