Ingredients

Instructions

  • Assemble your tacos: Distribute tempeh taco meat, corn and black bean salad with zucchini among toasted tortillas. Top with avocado dressing. Season with lime juice, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with fresh cilantro and jalapeño slices (optional). Enjoy!

Notes

Top Tips 

  • 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.

 Recipe Variations

  • 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.
