Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup corn kernels, 1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed black beans, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the corn is slightly charred and beans are heated through, stirring occasionally.

3. Step 3: Warm 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet or wrapped in foil in a 350°F oven for 3-4 minutes until pliable and warm.
4. Step 4: To assemble, spread 1 tbsp avocado-lime crema on each tortilla, then spoon the black bean and corn mixture evenly over them. Top with 1/4 cup finely diced red onion and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro for brightness.
5. Step 5: Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh, smoky flavors reminiscent of a zip line rush.
