Servings 12 tacos

Ingredients
  

  • 2 zucchinis
  • 2 poblano or green bell peppers
  • 1ΒΌ cup corn I use frozen
  • 4 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 3 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 2 cans refried beans
  • 2 cups vegan cheddar cheese shreds
  • 12 medium flour tortillas I used Mi Rancho

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Start by chopping the zucchini and peppers and set aside. If you're using corn, measure 1 1/4 cup into a bowl and set that aside as well.
    Next, arrange the racks in the oven so they're in the middle and to 400 degrees.

Make the Vegetable filling

  • Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to a large frying pan and set to medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, peppers, and corn with taco seasoning and cook for 5 minutes. Then remove from the heat and set aside.

Assemble the Tacos

  • Then lay the tortillas out on two cookie sheets, then use a fork to spread the refried beans, straight from the can, onto half of each tortilla.
  • Top the bean side with the veggie mixture and then sprinkle with vegan cheddar cheese. Then fold to close the taco, and flip it over so it's cheek-side down.
    Tip: if you flip the taco top-side up, the filling will stay inside.

Bake

  • Brush each tortilla lighting with the remaining 1-2 tbsp of olive oil and then bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
    Then serve with your favorite salsa, guacamole, plant-based sour cream, or hot sauce and enjoy!
