1 cup shredded carrots

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, finely chopped (adjust to taste)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Veggie Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, corn, and black beans. Toss them together gently.

Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey (or agave), smoked paprika, cumin, and season with salt and pepper.

Add Spice: Stir in the finely chopped jalapeño into the veggie mixture. Pour the dressing over the veggies and toss until everything is well coated. Let the mixture marinate for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature.

Warm the Tortillas: While the veggies marinate, warm the tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30-40 seconds on each side until they’re pliable.

Assemble the Tacos: Take a warm tortilla and fill it generously with the spicy veggie mix. Top each taco with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and crumbled feta cheese if desired.

Serve: Arrange the tacos on a serving platter. Serve with hot sauce on the side for an extra kick. Enjoy your Spicy Crunchy Veggie Tacos!
