Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1.5 cups Black beans (low sodium, canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 cup Red onion (finely diced)
- 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
- 1 medium Avocado (diced)
- 1 large Lime (juiced)
- 0.25 cup Cilantro (fresh, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for reheating tortillas)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 bottle Hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the black beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, corn kernels, avocado, lime juice, chopped cilantro, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
Taste the filling and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside to let the flavors meld together while preparing the tortillas.
If desired, lightly heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side, or brush them with a very small amount of olive oil and warm them until pliable.
Divide the prepared vegetable filling evenly among the warm tortillas.
Serve immediately with an optional drizzle of hot sauce or additional lime wedges for added brightness.
