  3. In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the corn and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until warmed through and slightly caramelized.
  4. Add the prepared black beans, chopped red onion, and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or over a flame until pliable.
  6. Assemble the tacos by spooning the black bean and corn mixture onto each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro.
