Authentic Mexican dishes like this one are flavorful and naturally low fat without sacrificing the taste. The flavors leave you always wanting that next bite. Just a preference is a squeeze of lime juice over the avocado.
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh corn
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
4 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3 small zucchini, chopped
1 large red onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
12 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
3/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1/4 cup salsa verde
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and thinly sliced
reduced-fat sour cream, optional
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute corn in 1 tablespoon oil until lightly browned. Remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, saute tomatoes, zucchini and onion in remaining oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the beans, oregano, salt, pepper and corn; heat through.
2. Divide filling among tortillas. Top with cheese, salsa, avocado and, if desired, sour cream. Yield: 6 servings.
