2. 1/2 tsp minced raw garlic

4. 1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil

Options

Use garbanzo beans instead of black beans.  Sprinkle with grated cheese just before serving.  Depending on how adventurous your children are you could also top with salsa, chopped tomatoes, chopped olives, chopped avocado or a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.  Replace raw garlic with 1/16 tsp garlic powder if you wish.  For a milder garlic taste, use 1-3 cloves roasted garlic instead.  For a stronger taco flavor, add more taco seasoning.  Try adding 1 Tbs tahini - a paste made from sesame seeds. It is packed with nutrients, but it can add a slightly bitter taste so start with a little and add more if your family isn't used to it.
