Ingredients
  

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

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, hot sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced red and green bell peppers, onions, corn, and cherry tomatoes. Toss to mix well.

    Season the Beans: In a separate bowl, mash half of the black beans with a fork (this will give your filling a nice texture). Add the remaining whole black beans to the mashed beans and then mix in cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

      Combine Ingredients: Fold the seasoned black beans into the veggie mixture, ensuring everything is well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap them in foil and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.

          Assemble the Tacos: Take one warm tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the veggie and black bean mixture onto the center. Top with diced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

            Serve: Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges and any optional toppings you desire, like shredded cheese or hot sauce.
