Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces ripe avocados (Mash until smooth, keeping some lumps for texture)
- 1 tbsp lime juice (Freshly squeezed enhances flavor)
- 0.5 tbsp lemon juice (Freshly squeezed enhances flavor)
- 1 cup corn kernels (Fresh recommended; can use frozen or canned)
- 1 piece red bell pepper (Diced)
- 1 piece poblano pepper (Diced)
- 1 piece red onion (Diced)
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper (Minced; omit for milder tacos)
- 0.25 cup cilantro (Chopped; optional)
- 1 clove garlic (Minced)
- 1 can black beans (Rinsed and drained)
- 4 pieces tortillas (Flour or corn; whole wheat is healthier)
- 2 cups lettuce (Shredded; Iceberg or Romaine)
- to taste hot sauce (Optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mash 2 ripe avocados with a fork until smooth, keeping some lumps for texture. Mix in the juice of one lime and half a lemon, along with a pinch of salt, for brightness. Then, fold in 1 cup of corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, poblano pepper, red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and 1 clove of minced garlic until well combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine one can of rinsed and drained black beans with half a cup of corn, diced poblano, and a sprinkle of cumin. Stir occasionally and heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Warm 4 tortillas (flour or corn) in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or until pliable. On each warm tortilla, layer a generous handful of shredded lettuce for crunch, followed by the black bean mixture on one side. Next, spoon the zesty guacamole onto the other side.
- Drizzle each taco with your favorite hot sauce, if desired, and top with extra cilantro for freshness. Serve with lime and lemon wedges on the side.
