I don’t think a recipe like this would have appealed to me as much if I wasn’t eating vegan for the month, but I made it a couple weeks ago and it will definitely stick around in my meal rotation.
This can be vegan or vegetarian depending on whether you want the cheese and sour cream. Either way, it’s a great vegetarian taco recipe to have on hand.
I made the salsa verde and corn tortillas from scratch but store-bought makes it come together quickly.
I think part of the reason why these tacos were so awesome was because of the homemade corn tortillas. They had that delicious, fresh corn flavor and were a breeze to make.
I’ll be back soon with a post on those tortillas which you don’t want to miss! Until then, feel free to use your favorite brand of corn or flour tortillas for this recipe. The filling would even be delicious stuffed in a quesadilla.

Hi Honey! Those look and sound wonderful–and can’t wait to see recipe for the tortillas! Yes, we are chicken girls but am trying to do more vegetarian dishes (thanks to your great ideas!)–the mushrooms are a great idea since they are so meaty anyway! xo Mimi
I love black bean and corn tacos! I bet the homemade corn tortillas do make a big difference. I will be checking back in for that tortilla recipe.
Oh, these sound right up my alley! I love, love, love Mexican cuisine (Tex-Mex, really)..and you would think we had some kind of heritage, but nope..
These are a great go to for sure, printing it off for the making! Thanks for a great recipe!
