Directions
- Rinse produce and pat dry; drain and rinse the black beans in a colander and let them drain.
- Seed and dice the bell pepper; peel and dice the onion; peel and mince the garlic.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and swirl in oil to coat the bottom.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet; cook until softened, about 5–6 minutes.
- Stir in the beans, corn, tomato sauce, and spices; simmer on low for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Grate the mozzarella.
- Halve and pit the avocados; scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash slightly, then fold in the diced tomatoes and lime juice; season with salt.
- Separate romaine leaves from the head and use them as taco shells; fill with the bean mixture and top with guacamole and cheese; serve.
Two tips
- Make-ahead tip: prep the guacamole and bean mixture ahead and refrigerate until serving.
- Serving idea: swap mozzarella for shredded cheese you have on hand, or add a squeeze of lime over each boat for extra brightness.
