Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, halved
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional for heat)
Seasoning and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Taco Assembly
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese (optional)
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt for topping (optional)
- Hot sauce or salsa (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the vegetables perfectly.
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash and slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into thin strips. Halve the mushrooms and slice the jalapeño if using.
- Toss with seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the sliced vegetables and corn with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until all vegetables are evenly coated.
- Roast on a sheet pan: Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Warm the tortillas: While the vegetables are roasting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrap in foil and heat in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Assemble the tacos: Once vegetables are roasted, distribute them evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, crumbled queso fresco, and dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
- Serve: Serve the tacos immediately with your favorite salsa or hot sauce on the side for added flavor and heat.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetable mix based on seasonal availability or preference.
- For a vegan option, omit cheese and sour cream or use plant-based alternatives.
- To add protein, consider roasting chickpeas on the sheet pan alongside the vegetables.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat vegetables and tortillas separately for best texture.
