Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced

1 cup shredded carrots

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 avocado, sliced

½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

1 cup tortilla chips (for crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggie Filling:

    - In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the chopped red onion and jalapeño. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

      - Add the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and shredded carrots. Continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

        Spice It Up:

          - Stir in the cooked black beans, corn kernels, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.

            Crunchy Tortilla Preparation:

              - While the filling is cooking, heat a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn or flour tortillas, one at a time, and lightly toast them for about 1 minute on each side until they start to get golden and crispy. Keep warm.

                Assemble the Tacos:

                  - Take a toasted tortilla, spoon a generous amount of the spicy veggie filling onto it, and top with shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, and crumbled feta cheese if using.

                    Add Crunch:

                      - Just before serving, sprinkle a handful of crushed tortilla chips on top of the filling for an extra crunch. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

                        Serve and Enjoy:

                          - Serve your Spicy Crunchy Veggie Tacos immediately with extra lime wedges for squeezing over the top. Feel free to add your favorite salsa or hot sauce for an additional kick!
