Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 can of black beans (rinsed), 1 cup of corn kernels, 1 diced bell pepper, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 8 corn tortillas, 1/2 cup of salsa, 1/4 cup of feta cheese, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced bell pepper. Sauté the bell pepper for about 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften.
- Add the rinsed black beans and corn kernels to the skillet with the bell pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Sprinkle in the teaspoon of cumin and mix well. Continue to cook the mixture for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the veggie mixture is cooking, heat the corn tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or you can wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 30 seconds until warm.
- Once the veggie mixture is heated through, remove it from the heat and prepare to assemble the tacos.
- Take a warm corn tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the veggie mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
- Top the veggie mixture with a spoonful of salsa and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for added flavor and freshness.
- Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas and filling until all tacos are prepared.
- Serve the Tex Mex Veggie Tacos warm, with extra salsa on the side if desired. Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your bell pepper and rinse the black beans in advance. This way, you can quickly throw everything together when you’re ready to cook.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Avocado slices, jalapeños, or a dollop of sour cream can add an extra layer of flavor to your tacos.
- Warm Tortillas: For the best texture, warm your corn tortillas just before serving. This makes them pliable and enhances their flavor, making each bite even more enjoyable.
- Batch Cooking: If you’re cooking for a crowd or want leftovers, double the veggie mixture and keep it in the fridge. It tastes great the next day and can be used in salads or wraps!
- Experiment with Spices: Don’t hesitate to adjust the spices to suit your taste. Adding a pinch of chili powder or smoked paprika can give your veggie mixture a delightful kick.
