Jamaican Jerk Black Bean & Corn Salsa Tacos

Ingredients:

Jerk Black Beans

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 3 cups cooked Camellia Brand Black Beans
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons store-bought or pre-made Jamaican Jerk Seasoning Blend, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh lime juice, to taste
  • 6 tablespoons water or bean-cooking liquid

Roasted Corn Salsa

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels or 2 ears of corn
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes
  • Salt, pepper, cayenne and lime juice to taste

Tortillas and Toppings

  • Small corn or flour tortillas
  • Diced avocado
  • Chopped green onions
  • Additional fresh lime juice
  • Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

 

Directions:

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add red onion and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  2. To the skillet, add cooked beans, jerk seasoning blend, garlic powder, lime juice and water or bean-cooking liquid. Cover and simmer for 7-8 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, and add more water or bean-cooking liquid if mixture is dry.
  3. Cook ears of corn over a grill or a gas flame until roasted to your preference. Cut corn kernels off cob. Or, add frozen corn to a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Cook until kernels have browned, stirring occasionally, 6-8 minutes.
  4. Cool corn and add to a bowl with chopped red onion, cilantro, and halved grape tomatoes. Season mixture to taste with salt, pepper, cayenne and lime juice.
  5. Warm tortillas by wrapping in aluminum foil and heating in a 350° oven for 15-20 minutes. Or, heat individual tortillas over a gas burner flame, using tongs to flip and slightly char each side.
  6. Add bean mixture and corn salsa to warmed tortillas and add toppings as desired. Serve immediately.
