Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups frozen or canned corn
  • 3 small zucchinis, diced
  • 1 poblano or bell pepper, diced

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

For Serving

  • Corn tortillas
  • Salsa (optional, for garnish)
  • Cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables, ensuring even cooking and caramelization.
  2. Roast the vegetables: Spread the diced zucchini, bell or poblano pepper, and corn evenly on a baking sheet. Roast them for 10 minutes, then stir to allow even cooking. Continue roasting for another 10 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
  3. Season the veggies: Transfer the roasted vegetables into a mixing bowl. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly so all the veggies are evenly coated with the spices for a flavorful bite.
  4. Assemble the tacos: Warm your corn tortillas, then scoop the seasoned roasted veggies onto each tortilla. Garnish with fresh salsa and cilantro, if desired, to add freshness and a hint of zest to your tacos.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lime or a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.
  • Substitute poblano pepper with any bell pepper depending on your spice preference.
  • Use fresh corn if available for a sweeter taste.
  • These tacos are vegetarian, and can be made vegan by omitting any dairy-based toppings.
  • Leftover roasted veggies can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated for an easy meal.
