Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh off the cob or frozen)

1 red bell pepper, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 medium zucchini, diced into small cubes

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

1 ripe avocado, sliced, for topping

1 lime, cut into wedges, for serving

Optional: your choice of salsa or hot sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggies: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften but still retain some crunch.

    Add Corn and Beans: Incorporate the corn and the rinsed black beans into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.

      Season It: Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Stir everything together and allow to cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the entire mixture is heated through and flavors meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

        Warm the Tortillas: While the veggie filling is cooking, warm the corn or flour tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat. Heat each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they become pliable and can be easily folded.

          Assemble the Tacos: Once the filling is ready, remove the skillet from heat. Take a generous scoop of the veggie and black bean mixture and place it onto each warmed tortilla, allowing the fillings to overflow slightly for a hearty bite.

            Garnish: Top each taco with slices of creamy avocado and a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro for added flavor and color.

              Serve: Present the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty squeeze, and offer salsa or hot sauce for those who like a little extra heat. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious tacos!
