Vegetarian Black Bean and Corn Tacos

Healthy Vegetarian Tacos

I love Vegetarian Tacos. They are lighter, easier to make, and a great way to enjoy some healthy veggies in the dinner rotation.

This Black Bean and Corn Taco is packed with Proteins. Black Bean is a healthy source of protein and is one of the most highly nutritious seeds which you should consume at least once a week.

Top that with some Sweet Corn and it's going to be super healthy and delicious.

Making the Taco filling

Stir in the shredded Cheddar Cheese OR Pepper Jack Cheese.

Making the Fresno Chile Crema

In a bowl combine together chopped, stemmed, and seeded Fresno Peppers along with Mayo, Sour Cream, Garlic Powder, Chipotle Chile Powder, Lemon Juice, Salt & Pepper. (If you don't have Chipotle Chile Powder, use regular Chili Powder or Cayenne Pepper as an alternative).

Serve it over the Tacos along with Pico De Gallo, Lemon juice, and Chopped Cilantro. (You can use any salsa you desire instead of Pico De Gallo)

If you donot like this Spicy Crema, go for milder versions like a Classic Mexican Crema or Cilantro Lime Crema or Avocado Crema.

Making Black Bean and Corn Tacos ahead of time

You can make the filing of Black Beans and Corn ahead of time. Toss them in the pan, cool them down completely, and take them out in a covered container. Do not add the cheese. You can refrigerate this for 1 week.

Before reuse warm it in the oven along with the shredded cheese. Stir and then use it.
