black bean zucchini tacos

This is for Katrina.

This recipe is good for me and at least two meals later, especially if I have a side of rice. I took it from a recipe for black bean chipotle burritos, changed it, and halved it. Below is my version, with some options. And I recommend making them tacos. Tacos are a better filling:tortilla ratio!

BLACK BEAN CHIPOTLE BURRITOS ZUCCHINI TACOS WITH MANGO IF YOU LIKE MANGO

  • some olive oil (or veggie oil)
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 medium zucchini, finely diced
  • 1 tsp. light brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 (15-oz) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2/3 cup frozen corn, defrosted
  • 1 packet of Sazon de Goya seasoning
  • Some taco-size flour tortillas. 
  • Some shredded cheese if you like.
  • Some diced fresh tomato (NOTE: Or salsa!)
  • Some diced mango!
  1. In a large nonstick skillet, warm vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and zucchini, sprinkle with brown sugar, and cook, stirring, until vegetables are softened and beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and stir until aroma is released, about 30 seconds.
  3. Place beans in a medium bowl and mash them slightly with a fork or the back of a spoon. Add to skillet along with corn and seasoning and stir to combine well. Cook, stirring frequently, until filling is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Wrap tortillas in paper towels and warm in microwave on High for 30 to 45 seconds, if you’re super motivated or have dry tortillas.
  5. Put everything in tortillas as pleases you.
  6. Seriously, try it with a bit of diced mango and spicy salsa.
