Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1 cup corn
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 taco shells
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 can of black beans (drained), 1 cup of corn, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 8 taco shells, 1 diced avocado, 1/4 cup of salsa, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained black beans, corn, shredded mozzarella cheese, and cumin. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Mix again to incorporate the seasoning.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the black bean and corn mixture to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the mixture is heated through.
- While the mixture is cooking, prepare your taco shells according to the package instructions. You can either warm them in the oven or microwave them for a few seconds until they are soft and pliable.
- Once the filling is ready and the taco shells are warmed, assemble your tacos. Spoon a generous amount of the black bean and corn mixture into each taco shell.
- Top each taco with diced avocado and a spoonful of salsa for added flavor and freshness.
- Serve the tacos immediately while they are warm, and enjoy your Crunchy Black Bean Mozzarella Tacos!
Tips
- Customize Your Filling: Feel free to add other ingredients like diced bell peppers, onions, or even jalapeños for an extra kick. The beauty of these tacos is that you can tailor them to your taste!
- Perfectly Warm Taco Shells: For an extra crispy texture, consider baking your taco shells in the oven instead of microwaving them. This enhances their crunchiness and adds a delightful contrast to the soft filling.
- Freshness is Key: Use ripe avocados and fresh salsa for the best flavor. If you have time, making your own salsa can elevate your tacos to a whole new level!
- Meal Prep Friendly: This recipe is great for meal prep! You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the fridge. Just heat it up when you’re ready to assemble your tacos.
- Pair with Sides: Serve your tacos with a side of Mexican rice or a refreshing salad to create a complete meal that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
