Roasted Veggie Tacos With Creamy Cilantro Sauce Recipes

ROASTED VEGGIE TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Wash and chop 3-4 small zucchini or summer squash into rounds. Cut the zucchini rounds in half.
• Wash and cut 1-2 bell peppers into large chunks. You can use any color bell pepper you like.
• Place the chopped veggies on a baking sheet. Feel free to use 2 baking sheets if the veggies don't fit onto one pan.
• Drizzle the veggies with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle 1 tsp. smoked paprika, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder, 1 tsp. ground cumin, 1 tsp. Adobo seasoning, and 1/8 tsp. or so of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
• Place the baking sheet(s) in the oven and roast for 20-22 minutes. Stir the veggies once during the roasting process to prevent sticking. Remove the pan(s) once the veggies are roasted and set aside.
• Heat 1 can of black beans (or beans of choice) on the stove top as the veggies are roasting according to package instructions.
• Chop 1-2 cups of spinach or leafy greens. Cut 1 avocado into slices. Mince 1/2 cup fresh cilantro.
• To serve: Heat tortillas if desired. Place a few spoonfuls of black beans and a few spoonfuls of roasted veggies onto tortilla. Sprinkle chopped greens, cilantro, and Queso Fresco cheese on taco. Garnish with avocado, a squeeze of lime, and a dash of hot sauce.

ROASTED VEGGIE TACOS WITH CREAMY CILANTRO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large low sided baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
• Place zucchini, onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Scatter three quarters of a teaspoon of chili powder and a few pinches of salt over the vegetables. Toss to coat.
• Roast the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 25 minutes.
• About 5 minutes before the vegetables are done, toss the black beans along with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder and a light drizzle of olive oil onto the baking sheet with vegetables. Continue to roast until the beans are hot and vegetables done.
• Add sour cream, lime juice, jalapeño, cilantro, and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste then add more lime juice or salt if needed. Refrigerate up to a week.
• Wrap tortillas, in two stacks, with aluminum foil. Place into the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until heated through.
• Fill each warmed tortilla with vegetables and black beans. Top with avocado, pickled onions, and a drizzle of the cilantro sauce. Serve with extra sauce on the side.
