Wow! This was fantastic! The small can of corn was 11oz and I used a jalapeño pepper, queso fresco, and omitted extra salt (plenty in canned vegs & cheese) but otherwise kept to the recipe. Add a slice of fresh avocado on top! Your vegan relations/friends can omit the cheese and it's still a great meal.

I've had this recipe saved on my board for a while and finally made it. Yummy! I used grilled corn that i shaved off the cob because we love that flavor. As another reviewer mentioned not a huge fan of radish, I agree so just scaled the amount down a bit, also only had jalapenos on hand (can't complain)! We love black beans, turned out awesome especially w/ my lemon garlic avocado slices. Thank you for great recipe :) Forgot to mention the kicker for me was the feta, i love it & thought brilliant.

We are not typically fans of radishes. But there was a bag of them in our farm share and I didn't want to waste them. My can of corn was bigger than called for, but I threw the whole thing in anyway and I always double my garlic in recipes. I used a jalapeño pepper, and my feta was reduced fat, but it turned out fabulous. I'll admit, we weren't expecting to like these and instead we all went back for seconds! It's not often our entire family agrees on something, so a five star rating from this crew is a true complement!

These delicious tacos made a great lunch alongside some mango/avocado guacamole. I love radishes -- they are wonderful detoxifiers for the body (among other great health benefits) and this radish salsa was a such a surprising addition to these tacos. Loved the combination of the corn and black beans with the feta as well. Will definitely make these wonderful tacos again. Made for PRMR, May, 2014.
