Recipe notes: 

If your child does not like black olives (gasp), you can always just use black beans in it’s place. And…AND if your family isn’t a fan of guacamole (double gasp), you can use my Spanish cauliflower rice or regular ol’ rice for the mound. See? The alternatives are vast and this recipe is welcoming for all.

Serve with some protein (either some beans or even my quinoa taco meat) and now you are your way to getting high-fived by each and every family member. Go you!

    Those corn tortillas look so crisp and delicious. I’m so craving something crispy and spicy right now. I’m sure my kids will love this too.

    This is exactly what I wanted for cinco de mayo…and cuatro de mayo, and tres de mayo and dos de mayo. Should I go on? 🙂
