Ingredients
  

For the Roasted Veggies:

1 medium zucchini, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 bell pepper of your choice (red, yellow, or green), chopped

1 cup corn kernels (can be fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 small red onion, diced

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 fresh lime

For the Chipotle Crema:

1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped (adjust quantity for desired spice level)

1 teaspoon lime juice

Salt, to taste

For Assembly:

8 small corn or flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped for garnish

Lime wedges for serving

Optional toppings: slices of ripe avocado, diced fresh tomatoes, or crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced zucchini, chopped bell pepper, corn, and diced red onion. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until all the vegetables are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.

      Roast the Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetable mixture evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time for even roasting. Once done, remove from the oven and immediately squeeze fresh lime juice over the roasted veggies.

        Prepare the Chipotle Crema: While the veggies are roasting, make the chipotle crema. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), the finely chopped chipotle peppers, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust the spice level by adding more chipotle peppers if you prefer it spicier. Set this mixture aside.

          Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet heated over medium heat, warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable and slightly crispy.

            Assemble the Tacos: Take each warm tortilla and fill it generously with the roasted vegetable mixture. Drizzle a good amount of chipotle crema on top, and feel free to add any of the optional toppings like avocado slices, diced tomatoes, or crumbled feta cheese.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish your tacos by sprinkling fresh cilantro on top. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added zing. Enjoy these delicious tacos while warm!
