- 173 g / 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 170 g / 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 135 g / 1 small red onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 100 g / 3 large jalapenos, diced
- 23 g / 1/4 cup sliced green onions (about 4)
- 12 g / 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 g / 1/2 tsp cumin
- 45 g / 3/4 cup cilantro leaves, packed
- 60 ml / 1/4 cup lime juice
- 12 six inch (15 cm) corn tortillas
Garnishes (optional):
- crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
- avocado slices
- sour cream
- chopped tomato
- salsa
- lime wedges
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220ºC). Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Place the sweet potato, 1 teaspoon (6 grams) salt, chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) pepper in a large bowl. Melt 3 tablespoons (42 grams) of Crystal margarine and drizzle over the sweet potato mixture; toss to combine.
- Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove and add the zucchini, corn, black beans and onion. Using a spatula, flip the sweet potatoes and stir to combine with the other vegetables. Return to oven for 15 minutes.
- While the vegetables are roasting, heat 2 tablespoons (28 grams) of Crystal margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Add the jalapenos and sautée for 5 minutes.
- Add the green onions, garlic, cumin and remaining 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) pepper; sautée for 3 minutes.
- Place in a blender or the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Add the cilantro, lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon (3 grams) salt. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender or bowl as necessary.
- Wrap tortillas in foil and place in the oven until warmed, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Serve warm roasted vegetables in tortillas alongside jalapeño cilantro sauce and top with desired garnishes.
Chef’s Tips:
- Removing the stems and seeds from inside the jalapeños before chopping will create a milder version of the Jalapeño Cilantro Sauce, if desired.
