Yields

8 servings

Ingredients

One cup cooked black beans
One cup frozen corn kernels
One cup diced bell pepper
One cup diced zucchini
One cup diced yellow squash
Two cups mixed greens
One ripe avocado diced
One lime juiced
One teaspoon cumin
One teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Eight corn tortillas
Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Vegan salsa for serving (optional)

Instructions

Start by preheating your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. In a large bowl, combine the cooked black beans, frozen corn kernels, diced bell pepper, diced zucchini, and diced yellow squash.

Stir well to combine.

In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this spice blend evenly over the vegetables and toss to coat.

Grill the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they’re tender and lightly charred.

While the vegetables are grilling, prep your tortillas by warming them up on the grill or in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the grilled vegetables onto a tortilla, followed by a spoonful of mixed greens, some diced avocado, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Top with a sprinkle of cilantro leaves and a dollop of vegan salsa, if using.

Serve immediately and repeat the process to make the remaining 7 tacos!

Notes

Use frozen corn kernels straight from the freezer, no need to thaw them first.

Adjust the level of smokiness to your taste by adding more or less smoked paprika.

If using vegan salsa, make sure to choose a brand that complements the flavors of the dish.

Grill or grill pan temperature is key, so make sure it’s hot before adding the veggies.

For an added crunch, top your tacos with diced radishes or sliced scallions.

You can also add some heat to your tacos by sprinkling a pinch of cayenne pepper on top.

Don’t be shy with the lime juice – it brings all the flavors together! These tacos are also great with sautéed onions or mushrooms for added depth of flavor.
