Switched from canned chili to canned beans for my taco nights
I always used canned chili for quick tacos because it's already got meat and spices. But last week I was out and grabbed a $1 can of black beans instead, and honestly it was WAY better. I just heated them up with some cumin and garlic powder I already had, and the texture worked perfectly with my usual toppings. Has anyone else made a swap like this that ended up being a keeper?

That's usually how it goes with the simpler stuff, isn't it...

Oh man, I used to be the exact opposite! I always thought canned beans would be too plain and boring, like why bother when chili's right there with all the flavor built in. But I tried it with pinto beans last Tuesday and threw in some smoked paprika and a little cayenne, and the texture was way more satisfying than the mushy chili. Did you find the black beans needed any extra salt or was the cumin enough?
