Vegan Tacos Recipe with Corn and Beans Salad: Healthy Dinner in August 2023

When I was little, I used to love Summer, because I knew that going to my grandma’s house, there was always homemade corn! She used to grow corn in her garden and for me nothing tasted better. This recipe that we are about to show you, includes corn, which is in season right now. And if you want to make it taste good, you have to find homegrown corn. If you don’t grow it yourself, check the farmer’s market.
