Ingredients
  

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

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

Juice of 1 lime

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cup crumbled feta or cotija cheese (optional)

Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salsa Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, and minced garlic.

    Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Pour in the olive oil and lime juice. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

      Herb it Up: Fold in the fresh cilantro, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mix.

        Warm the Tortillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and warm for about 30 seconds on each side, until soft and pliable. Repeat with all tortillas.

          Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, spoon a generous amount of the black bean and corn mixture. Top with sliced avocado and sprinkle with cheese if desired.

            Add Extras: Drizzle with your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick, if you like.

              Serve: Enjoy your zesty tacos immediately, garnished with additional cilantro or lime wedges if desired!
