My friend, Gina (Skinnytaste), inspires me. She is always putting positive quotes and sayings on social media, and there’s very little room for negativity in her life. I love that.

My messages here on RE revolve around hospitality and entertaining, helping people step out of their comfort zones and open up their homes. I love encouraging in this way! We can all be used where we are, with our own passions and mission to help encourage people to cook at home, and invite others in!

So let’s combine positive words and encouragement with an easy taco recipe today! [We’re bringing this recipe forward from November 2014.]

Tips and substitutions for black bean tacos

The Gift of Hospitality

There’s one thing that always bugs me though. It’s when people make the comment, “Oh, you somehow have the gift of hospitality.” Or, “I wish I had the gift of hospitality.” Or even, “I wasn’t given the gift of hospitality.”

There are varying opinions on this subject, but it makes me wonder … are any of us off the hook for being hospitable? And are these just excuses (fancy lies) to give us an “out”?

We’re all called to be hospitable, for the sake of the human race! But as my friend, Barb, reminds me often, hospitality can take on many forms. I so agree with this! Today I’m here to tell you we can all be hospitable! (I love this canvas a good reminder to me on a daily basis what hospitality is all about:) You can buy it, HERE.

Host a taco feed!

I’ll end by focusing on the taco feed idea. Tacos today are SO easy. All you need for this recipe today are a few ingredients for roasting the tomatoes (oil, cilantro, garlic), cheese, black beans, tortillas.

Very inexpensive, they are a hit, and I promise your company will love them.

I’m a veggie or seafood taco connoisseur, and y hubby loves the meat. But these tacos are so filling, you don’t really need the meat. More importantly, dinner is on the table quickly.

Taco inspiration – so many options

When Gina and I were Asheville together, we were inspired by the White Duck Taco Shop when we tried a variety of their tacos. Their menu was fabulous – we had a hard time choosing what we wanted to eat for lunch, and we loved their taco inspiration.

Gina is serving her creation of tacos over at her place today, Thai Chicken Peanut Lettuce Wraps, and I’m serving mine, here!

I hope you’ll enjoy our yummy recipes and will be inspired to practice a little hospitality.

Remember, keep it simple! You can start with this easy, plant-based summer taco recipe. Yes, please!
