Ingredients
  

1 large zucchini, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 red onion, diced

1 cup cauliflower florets

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to your spice preference)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 ripe avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional: crumbled feta or queso fresco for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven heats, prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, diced red onion, cauliflower florets, and corn. Ensure all the vegetables are evenly mixed for consistent roasting.

      Season the Vegetables: Drizzle the olive oil over the assorted vegetables. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper on top. Toss everything thoroughly until the veggies are well coated with the oil and spices, ensuring an even flavor distribution.

        Roast the Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetable mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in your preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and have developed a slight caramelization. Be sure to stir the mixture halfway through to ensure even cooking.

          Warm the Tortillas: While the veggies are roasting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for approximately 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable. Alternatively, wrap the tortillas in foil and place them in the oven for about 5 minutes.

            Assemble the Tacos: Once the roasted vegetables are ready, remove them from the oven. Take each warm tortilla and fill it generously with the spicy roasted veggies.

              Add Toppings: Garnish each taco with avocado slices and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. If desired, add crumbled feta or queso fresco for an extra layer of flavor. Serve lime wedges alongside to allow for squeezing fresh juice over the tacos.

                Enjoy the Experience: Serve these vibrant and flavorful tacos immediately, and relish each bite of the spicy goodness packed within!
