Directions:
- Prepare the guacamole: In a medium bowl, mash the avocados to your desired consistency. Add lime juice, lemon juice, and salt; mix well. Stir in corn, red bell pepper, poblano pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and garlic. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Prepare the black beans: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine black beans, corn, red bell pepper, poblano peppers, and ground cumin. Heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
- Assemble the tacos: Warm the tortillas if desired. On each tortilla, place a layer of chopped lettuce. Spoon the black bean mixture over the lettuce, then add a generous scoop of guacamole. Sprinkle with minced cilantro and add a few dashes of hot sauce if using. Serve with lime and/or lemon wedges on the side.
