Ingredients

  • 2 cups of frozen or canned corn
  • 3 small zucchinis, diced
  • 1 poblano or bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Corn tortillas
  • Salsa (optional, for garnish)
  • Cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Step 2: Spread the diced zucchini, pepper, and corn evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes, then stir the vegetables and roast for another 10 minutes until tender.
  3. Step 3: Transfer the roasted veggies to a bowl, add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to evenly coat the vegetables with the spices.
  4. Step 4: Warm the corn tortillas, then scoop the seasoned vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Top with salsa and cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra protein, add black beans or cooked shredded chicken to the vegetable mixture.
  • Try using different peppers like red bell or Anaheim for varying heat levels.
  • To make it vegan-friendly, skip any cheese toppings and stick with fresh salsa and cilantro.

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 stored separately to keep them fresh.

How to Serve

A soft taco shell is filled with layers of colorful grilled vegetables including green zucchini slices, yellow corn kernels, black beans, red bell pepper pieces, and browned red onion strips, all mixed together with some chopped green herbs, held by a person's fingers with a close-up view showing texture and freshness; the taco rests slightly angled over a round white speckled plate on a white marbled surface, surrounded by bowls with black beans, chunky red salsa, and a corn-vegetable mix, creating a fresh and vibrant meal setting.

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups of 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

Other

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for roasting your vegetables evenly and bringing out their natural flavors.
  2. Roast the Vegetables: Arrange diced zucchini, diced poblano or bell pepper, and corn evenly on a baking sheet. Place the sheet in the oven and roast for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the sheet and stir the vegetables to ensure even cooking, then return to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Season the Veggies: Transfer the roasted vegetables into a mixing bowl. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine all seasonings evenly with the veggies, infusing them with bold and smoky flavors.
  4. Assemble the Tacos: Warm your corn tortillas briefly so they are pliable. Scoop the seasoned roasted vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. If desired, garnish with fresh salsa and cilantro for an extra burst of freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen corn as preferred; canned corn should be drained well before roasting to avoid excess moisture.
  • Adjust chili powder quantity to your heat preference for milder or spicier tacos.
  • For additional protein, consider adding black beans or grilled tofu.
  • To keep tortillas warm while assembling multiple tacos, wrap them in a clean towel.
  • These can be served with a squeeze of lime juice for extra zest.
