Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by setting your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced zucchini, bell pepper, chopped red onion, corn, and halved cherry tomatoes. Pour in the olive oil, then sprinkle the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the top. Toss everything thoroughly until the vegetables are well-coated in the oil and spices.

      Roast the Veggies: Transfer the seasoned vegetable mixture onto the lined baking sheet, spreading it out evenly in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the veggies are golden-brown and tender. Halfway through, give them a quick stir to ensure even roasting.

        Make the Chipotle Crema: While the veggies are roasting, prepare the chipotle crema. In a small food processor or blender, combine the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), chipotle peppers (be cautious and taste as you add), lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning or the number of chipotle peppers to achieve your desired heat level.

          Warm the Tortillas: Next, warm the tortillas. Place a dry skillet over medium heat and add the tortillas one at a time, warming each side for about 30 seconds until they are soft and pliable. Keep them warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel.

            Assemble the Tacos: To assemble, lay out the warm tortillas and fill each with a generous portion of the roasted veggies. Drizzle the chipotle crema generously over the top and finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. For an extra layer of flavor, add slices of avocado, if desired.

              Serve: Present your beautiful tacos on a large platter with lime wedges on the side for an added zesty touch. Enjoy these delicious roasted veggie tacos with friends or family!
