Ingredients

Veggie Filling

1 medium red onion, diced
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 bell peppers, seeded and sliced (yellow, red, or orange)
1 14 oz canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1 14 oz canned cannellini beans, drained
1 14 oz canned corn

Seasonings

1 teaspoon(each) chili powder, cumin, garlic powder
2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt & black pepper

Toppings

6 soft corn tortillas
1/2 cup pickled onions (see notes)
1/2 cup guacamole (see notes)
cilantro leaves
Cotija cheese *optional

Instructions

In a large saute pan on medium heat, saute peppers and red onions with olive oil for 5 minutes until soft.
Lower heat and add 1 can each of black beans, cannellini beans, and corn. Add all of seasonings and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Then assemble tacos in corn tortillas with bean mixture, pickled onions, and guacamole, and cilantro. Enjoy!

Notes

How to Make EASY Guacamole: 2 mashed avocados, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 lime juice. Mix together and serve with tacos.

How to Make Pickled Onions: Thinly slice red onion, add to a jar or bowl with 1 1/2 cups of apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar, 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or regular sugar), and 1/4 tsp salt. Let sit with vinegar for 30 minutes while making tacos or several hours. These will pickle even more over time - store refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 2 weeks.

Tips

Condiments that go with tacos: top your tacos with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or cotija cheese.
Corn tortillas are a healthier option when choosing tortillas - you can also use regular flour, almond flour, or whole wheat tortillas.
No tortilla's? Serve this recipe over rice and make it a taco bowl. Great for meal prep and equally delicious!
