Vegan Quick Meals: Black Bean and Corn Tacos

Written by LaTara Ham-Ying on August 13, 2007 at August 13th, 2007

This week’s vegan quick meal is one of my favorites. I love, just absolutely love, Mexican food; and the more authentic the better. So I want to share a dish I create that hardly ever sees a leftover day.

Black Bean and Corn Tacos are delicious and so healthy. Then kids will love them and you will love the quick clean up!

Ingredients

1 16 oz can black beans

1/2 10 oz bag frozen corn

1 can green chilies

3 tsp chili powder

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 small can tomato sauce

1 bag salad mix

1 package 12 corn or whole wheat flour Tortilla Shells

2 tbsp coconut or other health friendly oil

Directions:

Drain and rinse black beans. Heat oil in pan. Add corn and green chilies. Stir and let cook for three minutes.

In the meantime, heat a non stick pan on medium heat and warm tortillas, one by one, for one minute on each side.

Add black beans, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir and cook and additional five minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and simmer for five minutes. Place bean and corn mixture into a shell, top with lettuce and any other condiment of choice - a few of my favs are avocados, olives, chopped onions, and salsa.

To keep Tortillas warm and from getting hard, place them on plate and cover with a piece of foil or paper towel. Or if you eat them like we do, just purchase a tortilla warmer.
