And to kick things off, what is more 'tomato-y' than fresh salsa! I had a bunch of fresh ingredients on hand to whip up this easy and flavorful salsa. And the best part is all you need is a knife and cutting board to pull this together. I have also been wanted to try to make home made re-fried beans and O.M.G. were those delish! I will never eat canned again. Anywoo - I whipped up some tacos with corn tortilla + re-fried beans + fresh salsa, enjoy!

Salsa
3 large tomatoes, chopped small
1/2 red onion, chopped small
1 jalapeno, remove seeds and chop small
3 small red peppers, chopped
2 t. cumin
Salt + pepper to taste
Re-Fried Beans
1 T. olive oil
1 15 oz. can pinto beans
1/2 white onion, chopped
1 t. chili powder
2/3 c. chicken stock
Salt + pepper to taste
For tacos you will also need 6 corn tortillas
Directions:
To make salsa, combine all ingredients, stir and put in fridge!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. When oven is preheated, add tortillas to warm, about 3 minutes. To make beans - heat olive oil in a sauce pan or skillet. Add chopped onion and saute about 3 minutes. Add chili powder and stir, cook about 1 minute longer. Rinse beans and add them to the pot. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil until almost all liquid is gone, about 5 minutes. At this point taste the beans, they may or may not need salt and pepper! Remove pot from heat and squash beans with the back of a wooden spoon until they are to the constancy that you desire!
To assemble - put 2 tortillas on a plate and top each with 1/4 cup re-fried beans and as much salsa as you want (because this salsa is FREE!!). These tacos have so much flavor, they are delish!
Tip:
If you like re-fried beans that are totally smooth (like the canned type), try putting them into your food processor and give them a few pulses. Also, add some iceberg lettuce to the top of these tacos for some additional crunch!
