Recipe Tip
Fiber Up with Beans
Black beans are loaded with plenty of fiber—the soluble kind. Start slowly so you have time to get used to added fiber in the diet!

Easy and Delicious!
My family LOVED this simple and healthified version of tamales! I substituted fresh romas instead of using canned tomatoes and also substituted kidney beans because I was out of pinto beans. I did not have lima beans so I used black beans instead. I also omitted the chiles altogther since my little ones were eating. Even with the substitutions I was VERY pleased with how this came out. Definitely will make this again!
