Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of oil

- 1 ripe tomato diced
- 1 avocado thinly sliced (optional)
- Salsa or hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil and saute onions, mushrooms, fresh corn, and black beans for 4-5 minutes until onion is soft. Add nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, chili pepper, paprika, and orange juice and mash with a potato masher. Set filling aside in a small bowl.

- Fill each tortilla with a bit of lettuce and bean filling. Top with tomatoes and avocado if using. Optionally, top with your favorite salsa or hot sauce.

Notes
- For crispy black bean tacos: Assemble the tacos (minus the fresh veggies) and press them together, then pan-fry with a little oil (or vegan butter) until crisp. Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and salsa.
- Adjust the bean texture: You choose your desired consistency, between super chunky or very smooth.
- Tweak the heat: Add as much chili powder as you’d like.
