Description

Flavor-packed vegetarian black bean tacos loaded with veggies and creamy avocado, perfect for any weeknight meal.


Ingredients

  • Black Beans: Provides the main source of protein and fiber. Use canned for convenience; just rinse and drain before using.
  • Corn: Adds sweetness and crunch. Fresh, frozen, or canned corn works great!
  • Bell Peppers: Colorful and crunchy, bell peppers add flavor and nutrition. Use a mix of colors for a vibrant presentation.
  • Red Onion: Brings a mild sweetness and crunch to the tacos. Alternatively, you can use green onions.
  • Avocado: Creamy and rich, avocado makes a perfect topping. Replace with guacamole for extra flavor.
  • Fresh Cilantro: Enhances the flavor of the tacos. Use parsley if you’re not a fan of cilantro.
  • Spices: Cumin and chili powder add warmth and depth. Adjust to your taste for a little kick!

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers and red onion. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  2. Add the black beans and corn to the skillet. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.
  3. Warm your taco shells in the oven or microwave according to package instructions.
  4. Assemble the tacos by spooning the vegetable-bean mixture into each taco shell. Top with avocado slices and fresh cilantro.
  5. Serve immediately with your choice of garnishes like salsa or sour cream.

Notes
