Ingredients
  

2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

½ cup crumbled queso fresco (or feta)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Char the Corn: If using fresh corn, grill the corn on high heat for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. If using frozen, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add corn, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until lightly charred. Transfer to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.

    Season the Black Beans: In a small bowl, mix together the drained black beans, olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly coated.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the charred corn to the black bean mixture. Toss together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

        Warm the Tortillas: Heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. You can also wrap them in aluminum foil and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.

          Assemble the Tacos: Place a generous scoop of the corn and black bean mixture onto each tortilla. Top with avocado slices and crumbled queso fresco.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your Smoky Charred Corn & Black Bean Tacos!
