Black Bean and Corn Tacos
In trying to keep up with my sister's idea of one veggie meal a week, I made these tacos the other week. They were very good and the recipe makes a large amount, so I was able to have tacos for lunch two other times that week. I added salsa Verde which was the prefect compliment to the tacos. This recipe comes from my favorite cooking magazine, Taste of Home Healthy Cooking. The serving size is 2 tacos and they are 423 calories. For this recipe you will need the following:
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 medium green pepper, finely chopped
1 small red pepper, finely chopped
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
2 large plum/roma tomatoes, chopped
2 cups of shredded cabbage
1 cup of fresh or frozen corn
2 tbsp of reduced sodium taco seasoning
2 tbsp of lime juice
2 garlic gloves, minced
1 cup of cooked brown rice (I used Minute
Rice)
8 taco shells, warmed
1/2 cup of shredded reduced-fat Mexican
cheese
In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, saute onion and peppers until crisp-tender.
Add beans, tomatoes, cabbage, corn, taco seasoning, lime juice, and garlic. Cook and stir over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in the rice and heat through. Spoon mixture into shells and sprinkle with cheese!
