Hello to Healing Tomato readers. I’m Julie from Inspiring Kitchen. Rini asked if I would like to share one of my recipes with you and I gladly accepted her kind offer. I like to create recipes that are healthy and vegetarian focused.

In many cases, you can make my recipes vegan or even add fish or meat if you are interested. The recipe below is vegetarian but can easily be made vegan.

Today, I am sharing my Fresh Corn, Red Pepper and Black Bean Mini Tacos.  I am really big on adding and subtracting ingredients based on what is in season, what I am in the mood for or my guests are requesting or even what I have available in the fridge! That is the inventive part of cooking that I just love.

I hope you enjoy this dish!

    • Thank you, Michelle. Julie is very talented and she knows how to appeal to a vegetarian.

  3. I’ve just introduced my kids to the Trader Joe’s frozen mini tacos – I think I’ll bump it up and try these for them! Great family option.

    • Thank you, Christine. I have nothing against the frozen mini tacos. However, I prefer my tacos to be fresh. I am “fresh” snob, LOL
