Equipment

my favorite knives
large pan

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
½ of a medium yellow onion diced
2 garlic cloves minced
1 large zucchini diced
1 Roma tomato diced
½ (15-ounce) can of corn drained and rinsed
½ (15-ounce) can of black beans drained and rinsed
½ teaspoon of salt more to taste
¼ teaspoon of cumin
6 to 8 tortillas
Hot sauce (optional)
A handful of cilantro minced

Instructions

In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Once heated, add in the onion and saute for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the onion becomes tender and translucent.
Add in the garlic, zucchini, tomatoes, and corn, and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the beans, salt, and cumin. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour on some hot sauce (if using) and sprinkle on the cilantro.

Notes

Adjust the texture: To make more of a traditionally creamy black bean filling, first sauté the garlic & onion, then add the beans and seasonings. Cook for several minutes before roughly mashing the beans, adding a small amount of reserved bean liquid or veg broth until creamy but still lightly chunky. Sauté the tomatoes and zucchini separately.
For crispy black bean tacos: Mash some of the beans and/or add some vegan cheese to work as a glue to help hold the tacos together, then pan-fry them with a bit of oil/vegan butter on both sides until crisp (similar to a plant-based quesadilla).
When serving a crowd: Create a platter of different toppings in small containers so your guests can choose which they’d like on their black bean and corn tacos.
