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)
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables, ensuring even cooking and caramelization.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
