How to prepare Vegetarian Tacos

To prepare the vegetarian tacos, start by washing and cleaning the vegetables. Cut the zucchini into sticks and then into cubes 1, the red peppers into strips 2, and the red onions into wedges 3.

In a pan, pour the extra virgin olive oil 4 and add the red onions first 5. Let them cook over medium heat for 2 minutes 6.

At this point, add the zucchini 7 and the peppers 8. Cook over medium heat for 8 minutes 9.

After this time, add the pre-cooked black beans, well drained 10, and the corn, also well drained 11. Stir and continue cooking over medium heat 12.

Season with sweet paprika 13, a pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper 14. Let it cook on low heat for the last 4 minutes 15.

Heat the corn tortillas on a non-stick pan, on both sides 16. Distribute the still hot filling on one side of the tortilla, add the cottage cheese 17, and flavor with chopped parsley 18.

Fold each taco in half 19 and transfer them to a cutting board. Squeeze some lime juice for an acidic touch 20, and your vegetarian tacos are ready to be served 21!
