Ingredients
  

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

1 medium cucumber, diced finely

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange), diced

1/2 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen, thawed)

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional toppings: crumbled feta cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, or a few dashes of hot sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tortillas:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with olive oil to provide a crispy texture.

      - Place the tortillas into muffin tins, shaping them into little boats. Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes until they are lightly golden and crispy. Once done, remove from the oven and allow them to cool.

        Make the Filling:

          - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the finely diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, corn kernels, chopped red onion, diced avocado, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro.

            - Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss until all ingredients are well incorporated.

              Assemble the Taco Boats:

                - Once the tortilla boats have cooled, generously spoon hummus into each, filling them about halfway full.

                  - Top the hummus with the colorful veggie mixture, creating a vibrant display in each boat.

                    Add Optional Toppings:

                      - For an extra touch, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top, drizzle a bit of olive oil for richness, or add a few dashes of hot sauce to kick up the flavor.

                        Serve:

                          - Arrange the assembled mini taco boats on a serving platter. Enjoy them immediately for a delightful bite, or chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes beforehand for a refreshing appetizer.
