Ingredients
  

For the Tacos:

1 ½ cups cooked black beans (or 1 can, drained and rinsed)

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

For the Cashew Cream:

1 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 4 hours (or overnight)

½ cup water (more if needed)

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 clove garlic (optional)

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cashew Cream:

    - Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. In a blender, combine the cashews, water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic (if using), and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside.

      Cook the Filling:

        - In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.

          - Add the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes until the bell pepper softens.

            - Stir in the cooked black beans and corn, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through. Remove from heat.

              Warm the Tortillas:

                - In a separate dry skillet over medium heat, warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable and slightly toasted. Alternatively, you can wrap them in foil and warm in the oven.

                  Assemble the Tacos:

                    - Take a warmed tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the bean and veggie filling onto it. Top with a dollop of cashew cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

                      Serve:

                        - Serve your tacos warm with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy the burst of flavors!
