Ingredients
  

1 large zucchini, diced

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 to taste)

Salt and 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine diced zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, cauliflower florets, and corn.

      Season the Veggies: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, and sprinkle with smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss the veggies until evenly coated with the oil and spices.

        Roast the Veggies: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

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

            Assemble the Tacos: Once the veggies are done roasting, remove them from the oven. Fill each warm tortilla with a generous amount of the spicy roasted veggies.

              Add Toppings: Top each taco with avocado slices, chopped cilantro, and crumbled feta or queso fresco if using. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors and spicy kick of these delicious tacos!
