Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thin strips

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 avocado, diced

½ cup diced tomatoes

¼ cup chopped cilantro

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional: hot sauce, for added spice

Instructions
 

Prep the Zucchini: Start by slicing the zucchinis into thin strips or matchsticks. Place them in a mixing bowl.

    Season the Zucchini: Add olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the zucchinis. Toss until the zucchini strips are evenly coated with the seasoning.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

        Air Fry the Zucchini: Place the seasoned zucchini strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the zucchini is crispy and golden.

          Warm the Tortillas: While the zucchini is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until pliable.

            Assemble the Tacos: Once the zucchini is ready, remove it from the air fryer. In each tortilla, layer some zucchini strips, followed by black beans, corn, diced avocado, and tomatoes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.

              Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and add hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, healthy tacos!
