Spicy Vegetarian Tacos Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (400g) black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• For serving:
• Salsa (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 avocado, diced
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
• Fresh cilantro, chopped
• Lime wedges

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

2. 2

   Cook Beans & Corn: Add the rinsed and drained black beans, corn kernels, chili powder, cumin powder, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients and spices. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and flavors have blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Warm Tortillas: While the filling is cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30-60 seconds, or wrapping in foil and heating in a preheated oven (180°C/350°F) for 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Assemble Tacos: Lay out the warm tortillas. Spoon a generous amount of the bean and corn filling into the center of each tortilla.

5. 5

   Add Toppings: Top the filling with diced avocado, a spoonful of salsa, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt (if using), and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

6. 6

   Serve: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Enjoy your delicious Spicy Vegetarian Tacos!
