This taco recipe has the great combo of black beans and corn, with a little bit of zip from the sauce.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (4-ounce) can hot green chiles
1 (15-ounce) can black beans
1 (15-ounce) can corn kernels
1 tablespoon chili powder
16 (6-inch) corn tortillas or 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
11/2 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

PREPARATION
1. Combine the sour cream and green chiles in a small bowl and set aside.

2. Drain the beans, rinse under cold water, and place in a small saucepan. Add the corn and its liquid and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until hot. Drain the liquid and stir in the chili powder.

3. Place 4 corn tortillas or 2 flour tortillas on a plate. If you are using corn tortillas, double them up, so you have 2 stacks of 2 tortillas each. Spoon some of the black bean mixture onto the centers. Top with the lettuce, cheese, and sour cream sauce as desired. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
