Savory beans, sweet corn and lime juice combine to make a quick, easy, and affordable Taco Tuesday.
While the taste of this taco is slightly above average (compared to other tacos we’ve like) this one is a clear winner in cost and convenience.
Taste: ????The beans have a nice flavor to them. And they pair up well with the corn and avocado. The tanginess of the limes and the savoriness of the beans mesh quite well. |
Appearance: ???A good looking, though standard looking taco. Could become more eye appealing with some bright diced tomatoes or shredded purple cabbage ect. |
Cost: ?????Another great aspect of this one is cost. Possibly one of the cheapest tacos we’ve made yet. One important ingredient is the Cojita cheese. Don’t skip this one, you really need the saltiness to work with the rest of the flavors going on. |
Difficulty: ?????One of the best aspects of this recipe is its simplicity. Very quick and easy to pull off. A great “fancy” taco for when you are low on time but want to impress. |
Verdict: Yes taco!
Not every taco needs to be extravagant. Sometimes reliable, tasty affordable, and quick win out. In this case these factors add up to a big winner.
