Vegetarian Tacos!

Recently we received some feed back that a lot of you enjoy the few recipes that we have put up on here, and since I haven't contributed any recipes yet, here is one of my favorites. I never measure any of the ingredients, so some pretty good estimating will have to do. This meal usually takes less than a half and hour to prepare.

Saute one chopped small to medium onion in olive oil and garlic
Add one chopped bell pepper (all of the colors are good, so you can pick this one!)
When the onion and pepper are cooked, add
1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup of frozen corn
and chili powder and cumin to taste (Like I said, I don't use the recipe anymore, but I'd say about a tablespoon of chili powder and maybe a teaspoon of cumin. I love these two spices, so I tend to be pretty generous with them.)
and maybe some salt and pepper

These are good topped with chopped lettuce and tomatoes, or even some avocados, but the original recipe doesn't call for them. I think they are good either way and I usually decide just depending on what I have around. Cheese is a must as far as I'm concerned and sour cream is good too. I usually substitute the sour cream with plain yogurt to keep the meal a little more healthy.

Oh and don't forget to wrap them up in your favorite tortillas!

I hope you love these babies as much as I do! They're perfect when you need something simple, healthy, and really delicious! Enjoy!

You can also use Romaine lettuce instead of tortillas. Lowers the calories and gives you another veggie! Yum.
