I like easy recipes and repurposing ingredients.
The idea for this taco came when I had leftover coleslaw made with red cabbage.
I went to the store with the thought of making fish tacos and
it all came together when I discovered a new product to me... Birds Eye Protein Blends, Southwest Style.
It is a combination of whole grains, black beans, corn, lentils, red bell peppers and sauce.
Don't let the word "sauce" fool you, it is more flavoring than sauce.
