Black Bean and Corn Fajita (tacos)

Incredibly delicious, simple and easy Fajita recipe that is absolutely mouthwatering.

I love making Mexican food because number 1 I love flavorful food and number 2 it is quite simple to make. These Black Bean and Corn fajitas are so simple, easy and absolutely delicious. If you want you can even call them tacos, just add some lettuce, salsa, or whatever you normally would add to your tacos, and there you go, you just made yourself a veggie taco.

For this particular Fajita recipe, I added drained canned black beans, frozen corn, red onions, an orange bell pepper, green pepper, and red bell peppers , and sliced Serrano chili for a kick, however this step is optional. and you can pretty much use which ever pepper you would like and it will still turn out amazing.

As for toppings, you can pretty much chose what you would like to add. In this case, for this recipe I topped it off with sour cream, green chili, sliced avocado, and shredded taco seasoning cheese blend. However, any type will work just fine. It is really your preference. Down below in the recipe box I listed some toppings , you can add that will go well with this recipe.

Tip 1 : Take your sour cream and put it in a mixing bowl and whisk it together to get a smoother texture, do this technique and there you go, you just made yourself Chipotle's sour cream.

Tip 2: Warm your tortillas directly on your grill stove top to get a more char taste. Or you can warm it on a cast iron or non stick pan on high heat to get the same result, however, make sure pan is dry and keep an eye on it, you don't want to burn your tortillas.

Here's How to make it:
