Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 30 mins | Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

– 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin strips
– 1 medium bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
– 1 medium yellow squash, sliced into thin strips
– 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 6 corn tortillas
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
– Lime wedges, for serving
– Salsa, for serving (homemade or store-bought)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. In a large bowl, toss together the sliced zucchini, bell pepper, and yellow squash with the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until the vegetables are evenly coated. Grill the vegetables for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they’re tender and slightly charred. Set aside.
2. In a separate pan, cook the sliced red onion over medium heat with the minced garlic until the onion is translucent and slightly caramelized.

Pro Cooking Tips:
– To elevate the flavor of your Tacos de Verduras, make sure to let the grilled vegetables cool slightly before assembling the tacos. This allows the natural sweetness of the vegetables to shine through.
– For an added layer of depth, consider adding a splash of citrus juice (like lime or lemon) to the grilled vegetables before serving.

Serving Suggestions:
– Warm the corn tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the grilled vegetables onto a tortilla, followed by a dollop of salsa, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro (if using), and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
