COOKED BLACK BEANS:

CORN KERNELS:

• Corn kernels can help maintain the flavor of your taco filling. Use frozen corn kernels if the fresh ones are not present with you.

BELL PEPPERS:

• If you add bell peppers to your filling, they will give you crunchier bites and a good color as well. For an alternative, try using carrots in your recipe.

ONION:

• This is an important thing to use in your pocket tacos because these will add a good flavor. Add onion powder for a different option if you prefer it.

• It will make a creamy filling for your recipe, and it will melt nicely too. Utilize any kind of vegan cheese for this recipe. You may try nutritional yeast for a cheesy taste too.

OLIVE OIL:

PAPRIKA AND CUMIN:

• Both of these spices will include a light smoky taste. Also, you will feel some warmth in your recipe from using these as well. Use chili flakes if you prefer another choice.
