Ingredients
  

2 cups Hatch green chilies, roasted, peeled, and chopped

1 cup sweet corn (fresh or frozen)

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon chili powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional toppings: crumbled feta or cotija cheese, sour cream, salsa

Instructions
 

Sauté the Onion: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

    Add Aromatics and Spices: Incorporate the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder into the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional minute, allowing the spices to release their fragrant aromas.

      Cook the Vegetables: Introduce the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, and sweet corn to the skillet. Sauté the mixture for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender yet retain their vibrant colors.

        Mix in Hatch Chilies and Beans: Gently fold the roasted and chopped Hatch chilies along with the rinsed black beans into the vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring until everything is heated through and well combined.

          Heat the Tortillas: While the veggie mixture is cooking, take a separate skillet and heat it over medium heat. Warm each tortilla one at a time for about 20-30 seconds on each side until they become pliable. Once warmed, keep the tortillas wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to maintain their warmth.

            Assemble Your Tacos: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Scoop a generous portion of the veggie mixture into the center. Top it with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and any optional toppings like crumbled feta, cotija cheese, or a dollop of sour cream if desired.

              Serve and Enjoy: Present the tacos immediately, accompanied by lime wedges for a zesty squeeze over the top. Dive into your delicious and satisfying Spicy Hatch Chili Veggie Tacos!
