Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels frozen works fine
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small tortillas corn or flour, your call
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro Salsa, avocado, lime wedges, chopped lettuce

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sizzle the onion until it starts to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant. Don’t burn it—garlic hates harsh sunlight and hot pans too.
  • Stir in black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until everything is heated through and the flavors start to mingle, about 4–5 minutes.
  • Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave them briefly until pliable. No tortilla gymnastics required—just make them soft and happy.
  • Assemble: spoon the bean mixture into each tortilla. Top with cilantro, salsa, avocado, or a squeeze of lime—whatever makes your heart sing.
  • Serve with a quick side like a simple green salad or sliced veggies. Enjoy while everything smells amazing.
