Ingredients

2 cups fresh sweet corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)

2 ripe tomatoes, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 avocado, diced

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Crumbled feta or cotija cheese (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Corn: If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob and set aside. If using frozen corn, thaw it and drain well.

Cook the Corn: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, stir in the sweet corn. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until slightly caramelized. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder, mixing well to combine. Remove from heat.

Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed corn, diced tomatoes, red onion, black beans, and lime juice. Gently toss to mix everything together.

Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the corn or flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

Assemble the Tacos: Place a generous scoop of the corn and tomato mixture on each tortilla. Top with diced avocado and sprinkle with cilantro. If desired, add crumbled feta or cotija cheese for extra flavor.

Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, garnished with additional lime wedges on the side for drizzling.
