Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small soft taco shells
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the diced zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, corn, red onion, and garlic.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

  5. 5

    While the vegetables are roasting, warm the soft taco shells in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side.

  6. 6

    Once the vegetables are done, remove them from the oven and assemble the tacos by filling each taco shell with the roasted vegetable mixture.

  7. 7

    Top the tacos with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  8. 8

    Serve the vegetarian tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
