Let's talk easy dinners. Mini Tex-Mex bites are a recipe that is the epitome of quick, healthy, and tasty.

Black beans and corn are complementary proteins, meaning that when combined, they have all the amino acids your body needs to build protein. So, this meal is an excellent vegetarian option (and vegan if you cut out the cheese).

But when it comes down to it, these little Tex-Mex cups are simply delicious.

They would make a great party appetizer, side dish or even main part of your meal. In fact, since these savory bites are packed with protein and veggies in a cute little cup, my family eats it with cubed avocado, a drizzle of salsa and pretty much nothing else. Because it's that good.

Give it a whirl and let me know what your taste buds think.
