Ingredients
  

1 large zucchini, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 medium red onion, diced

1 cup cauliflower florets

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

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

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

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 ripe avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro, finely chopped, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional: crumbled feta or queso fresco for an extra touch

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.

    Prepare Veggies: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, diced red onion, cauliflower florets, and corn kernels. Make sure the vegetables are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.

      Season the Veggies: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mix of vegetables. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and season generously with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together until all the vegetables are well-coated in the oil and spices.

        Roast the Veggies: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and have developed a light caramelization. Stir the mixture halfway through cooking for even roasting.

          Warm the Tortillas: While the veggies are roasting, warm the tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven for about 5 minutes.

            Assemble the Tacos: Once the veggies are perfectly roasted, remove them from the oven. Begin filling each warm tortilla with a substantial amount of the spicy roasted veggie mixture.

              Add Toppings: Finish off the tacos by adding slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro, and, if you like, some crumbled feta or queso fresco for added creaminess and flavor. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty touch.

                Enjoy: Serve the tacos immediately while they're warm, and indulge in the vibrant flavors and delightful spiciness of this dish!
