Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado Cream:

    - In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt.

      - Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning if needed and set aside.

        Sauté the Veggies:

          - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

            - Add the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and grated carrot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.

              - Stir in the corn, black beans, and shredded red cabbage. Season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and well combined.

                Warm the Tortillas:

                  - In a separate pan or directly on a gas burner, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable and slightly toasted.

                    Assemble the Tacos:

                      - Lay out the warmed tortillas and fill each with a generous scoop of the sautéed veggie mixture.

                        - Drizzle with the avocado cream and top with your choice of optional toppings like cilantro and diced tomatoes.

                          Serve:

                            - Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing. Enjoy them fresh and warm for a delightful family meal!
