Add diced bell peppers along with the onion for extra crunch and nutrients. For more heat, include a finely chopped jalapeño. Crumble in some feta or cotija cheese (if dairy is desired and budget allows). Serve over rice or in a bowl as a burrito bowl if you're out of tortillas.
Mashing some of the black beans helps create a richer, creamier texture and prevents the filling from falling out of the tortillas. Don't overcook the corn if using fresh or frozen, as it can lose its sweetness.
The black bean and corn filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. Store tortillas separately.
Black beans and corn are incredibly affordable pantry staples, making these tacos a smart choice when you're watching your spending but still crave something exciting and filling.
