Here is a recipe worthy of summer. It involves simple cooking techniques, and big flavors. I know anything vegetarian tends to have a bad reputation, but I promise you will not miss the meat. This recipe is light, and healthy, filled with tasty ingredients that pop in our mouth with every bite. Summer ripe zucchini, sweet corn, hearty black beans, and avocado slices marry beautifully. Wrapped in a fresh corn tortilla with a couple dollops of goat cheese and bit of spicy sauce will take this whole concoction to another level. So relax, enjoy the weekend, and eat a taco to the sounds of reggae.
