Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- 1 ½ tablespoons Blackened seasoning*
- 2 medium zucchinis cut into ½-inch slices
- 1 medium onion chopped
- ¾ cup corn kernels thawed if using frozen
- 15- ounce can black beans rinsed and drained
- 8 corn or flour tortillas store-bought or homemade, warmed
- Pickled jalapeños and onions if using
- ½ cup cotija cheese crumbled
- 1 lime cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini slices and sprinkle with half of the seasoning. Flip and cook on the other side. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of oil. Add the onion and the remaining seasoning and sauté for about 5 minutes, until onions have softened. Add the corn and black beans and stir to heat through.
- Assemble each taco by layering the sauteed black beans and corn, then a layer of zucchini slices, and topping them with pickled jalapeños and onions, if using.
- Sprinkle crumbled Cotija cheese over the top and serve with lime wedges.

Notes
- You can also use the same amount of Cajun seasoning or Creole seasoning instead of Blackened seasoning.
- Make these milder by using the same amounts of Taco seasoning or Roasted Veggie Seasoning instead.
