Notes
- Store all ingredients separately in an airtight container and they should keep for three to four days in the fridge.
- Using a layer of water, oil, lime or lemon juice in the avocado dressing should keep the avocado from oxidizing (turning brown).
- Avocado dressing should be kept separately from the salad.
- Take advantage of an already hot bbq and throw on zucchini and corn. They will last for three to four days covered in the fridge.
- Corn tacos are great for when you have guests, make large batches and allow everyone to create their own tacos.
- Serve them with Vegan Mexican Chopped Salad,Fresh Tomato Salsa, Mexican rice or lime cilantro rice, green garden salad, refried beans, black bean soup or freshly cut up veggie sticks.
- If you don’t have any tempeh taco meat on hand, no problem. Skip that ingredient and top the tacos with more corn and black bean salad with zucchini.
- For a vegan version of these tacos, just drop the feta or use vegan feta in the salad.
- Use corn tortillas for a gluten free version.
- Use buddha bowl dressing instead of avocado dressing.
- Frozen or canned corn can be used in the salad as well. Make sure to stir fry drained corn on a hot pan before using it.
- Adjust the amount of jalapenos to your taste. If you don't like them, get rid of them altogether.
