Vegetarian tacos
These can be made into a #vegan version by omitting the cheese, and made into breakfast by adding a fried egg.
4 6-inch tortillas
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup cooked beans -- pinto, black, whatever your favorite is
1 cup fresh corn
1 shallot, minced
2 slices of cheese or 1/4 cup shredded
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp cooking oil for sauteing
Put a little oil in a small saute pan and heat with a medium flame. Add the shallot and sweat it for a few minutes. Add the corn and saute for about 5 minutes gently, until it softens. Add the beans and spices and continue to heat on low while you prepare the tortillas -- don't let it get too dry. taste and adjust seasoning.
Lay the tortillas on a lightly-oiled griddle and heat on a medium flame for a minute, then flip over. put the cheese, if using, on the tortilla, and then the avocado. continue to heat until the bottom of the tortilla gets a little browned and crispy -- just a couple of minutes. add a quarter of the bean-corn mixture to each tortilla and serve with your favorite hot sauce.
Serves 2 people -- 2 tortillas each.
