Ingredients
  

3 medium zucchinis, diced

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

8 corn tortillas

1 cup fresh corn (can be canned or frozen)

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional: avocado slices or guacamole for topping

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

    Add Flavor: Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

      Incorporate Beans and Corn: Add the black beans and fresh corn to the skillet. Mix well and cook for another 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.

          Assemble the Tacos: To assemble, place a generous scoop of the zucchini mixture on each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro and optional avocado slices or guacamole if desired.

            Serve and Enjoy: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos for an extra zing, garnish with more cilantro, and enjoy your vibrant Zesty Zucchini Tacos!
