Instructions

  3. Step 3: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly roasted.
  4. Step 4: Transfer the roasted veggies into a bowl. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder, then mix well to evenly coat the vegetables.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the seasoning mix.
  • Try adding black beans or crumbled queso fresco for a protein boost.
  • If you prefer a smoky flavor, roast the veggies on a grill pan or use smoked paprika instead of chili powder.

Storage

Store leftover roasted veggies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before assembling tacos. Tortillas are best warmed fresh but can be wrapped and stored for a day or two.
