Ingredients
  

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 bell pepper (any color), diced into bite-sized pieces

1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

4 ounces creamy goat cheese, crumbled

1 ripe avocado, sliced into wedges

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 425°F (220°C). To ensure easy cleanup afterward, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the half-moon slices of zucchini, diced bell pepper, thinly sliced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the mixture with olive oil, then sprinkle on the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything together until all the vegetables are evenly coated in the oil and spices.

      Roast the Vegetables: Pour the seasoned vegetable mixture onto the lined baking sheet, spreading them out into a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, golden, and slightly caramelized. To ensure even cooking, stir the veggies halfway through the roasting time.

        Warm the Tortillas: While the vegetables are roasting, place a skillet over medium heat. Warm each tortilla individually for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in the oven to heat through.

          Assemble the Tacos: Once the roasted veggies are out of the oven, it’s time to assemble your tacos. On each warm tortilla, place a generous spoonful of the roasted vegetable mixture. Top with crumbled goat cheese and a few slices of avocado. Finish by garnishing with fresh cilantro leaves.

            Serve: Just before enjoying these delicious tacos, squeeze a wedge of fresh lime over the top for an added burst of flavor. Serve immediately and relish every bite of your roasted veggie and goat cheese tacos!
