Take on Taco Tuesday with this zesty recipe!
One of our favorite things about tacos is how versatile they are. There are literally hundreds of taco recipes out there to choose from, but unfortunately, they aren’t all created equal when it comes to taste and nutritional value. Many of the recipes we come across are loaded with greasy or unhealthy add-ins, but not this one! Roasted Corn and Black Bean Tacos are made with only 100% whole food ingredients, and they don’t sacrifice anything when it comes to flavor.
Perfect for Meatless Mondays, this black bean taco recipe combines with our roasted corn recipe for a scrumptious meat-free meal option. Top these tacos with a dollop of our Guacamole Verde, and you’ve got a taste that can’t be beat! Hosting Taco Tuesday for a larger crowd? Try serving your taco ingredients in a Fiesta Taco Tray. Your guests will love it.

- 1/4 cup red onion sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro fresh, roughly chopped

Instructions
- In a medium non-stick skillet, toss together the corn and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ¼ tsp red chili flakes (or more if you like a little extra spice) and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Allow the corn to cook in the olive oil, stirring occasionally – This will take approximately 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside when corn is tender and slightly browned.

Great recipe. It can easily be made gluten-free using a gluten-free brand of corn tortillas.
I am going to try this recipe cold as a salad for a BBQ. I’ll make ahead of time and serve it from the fidge.
Great idea, Paula! Sounds delicious!
