Ingredients
  

For the Tacos:

1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 large bell pepper (any color), diced

1 small zucchini, diced

1 small carrot, grated

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

For the Avocado Cream:

1 ripe avocado

½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt to taste

Optional Toppings:

Chopped fresh cilantro

Diced tomatoes

Lime wedges

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado Cream:

    - In a blender or food processor, add the ripe avocado, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt.

      - Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Once ready, transfer to a bowl and set aside.

        Sauté the Veggies:

          - In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

            - Add the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and grated carrot to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

              - Stir in the corn kernels, black beans, and shredded red cabbage. Season the mixture with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through and well combined.

                Warm the Tortillas:

                  - In a separate skillet or directly over a gas burner, place the tortillas and warm them over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. You want them to become pliable and slightly toasted.

                    Assemble the Tacos:

                      - Take each warmed tortilla and lay it flat. Add a generous scoop of the sautéed veggie mixture to the center of each tortilla.

                        - Drizzle with the avocado cream and then sprinkle with your desired optional toppings like freshly chopped cilantro and diced tomatoes.

                          Serve:

                            - Arrange the tacos on a serving platter, or serve individually. Place lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy these vibrant and delicious tacos while they're fresh and warm for an unforgettable meal!
