On occasion, (read daily) I daydream about the most random things.  Somtimes I take to daydreaming about owning a traveling food truck and venturing out across the United States. (I also suppose I have Sarah and Melissa to thank for starting me down this path as they both graciously offered up their driveways as parking spots for me).  While the food truck isn’t really a reality (nor would I want to incur the cost of a traveling truck), it’s still fun to daydream.

I dream of crispy, wood-fire pizzas (this truck makes that possible), fresh spring rolls using ingredients from whatever state I happen to be in, delicious curries (because sometimes I crave curry), freshly baked cinnamon rolls (I need something not healthy) and tacos, like every day.

I love me some tacos and according to pinterest, you do too.

Even though I won’t have a food truck anytime soon so you can try these delicious tacos first hand, I made you more tacos (because you can never have enough taco recipes.)

This time I just shoved them full of cumin-spiced roasted veggies and called them good.  No grains, no beans, just summer veggie goodness.  Don’t freak out at the long ingredient list, it’s mainly because I used whatever I had in my kitchen.  If you used zucchini and sweet corn you would still have one heck of a delicious taco.

Oh and let us not forget the avocado (really essential to any excellent taco.)

Have I mentioned how much I love tacos?

Roasted Veg Tacos with Avocado Cream and Feta
 
Prep time

Serves: 2

Ingredients
  • Filling:
  • 1 small zucchini, diced
  • 1 small summer squash, diced
  • ½ medium red onion, diced
  • 1 ear sweet corn, removed from cob
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 1 medium red pepper, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Avocado Cream:
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • ⅓ cup full fat, plain greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 1 tablespoons lime juice
  • Everything Else:
  • Feta or Goat Cheese
  • 4-6 corn tortillas
  • Extra cilantro

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400˚. Prepare all the veggies as described and toss with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and cumin. Roast until tender and lightly browning.
  2. While veggies are roasting, whip together avocado, greek yogurt, cilantro, and lime juice.
  3. To assemble tacos, warm up tortillas (in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel or a oven with a damp tea towel) and assemble with roasted veggies, avocado cream, and a sprinkle of feta.

Notes
If you want a bit of protein, black beans or chickpeas would make an excellent addition to this meal!

    Sign me up for this taco off of a food truck. These, I’m sure, are delish. I’m always dreaming about what I would include on my food truck if I opened one up. I’ve had a million ideas, but right now I’m thinking tacos, FroYo, and summer rolls….strange combo, but great summer eats.

    These look incredible. You have so many good food combinations up your sleeve.

    If you had a food truck, I wouldn’t leave its side. The amount I would eat would probably pay for the truck itself!

    oh, girl. I would totally buy three of these from your taco truck. although pizza sounds equally good. will you bring it to Nashville? ….

    These look absolutely gorgeous and delicious! I’m curious what brand of corn tortilla you buy. Do you have a favorite?

    • naturallyella

      I actually started making my own a couple months ago and can’t go back to store-bought. This is the recipe I use (and they are really easy to make once you get the hang of it!):

        Thanks!! I knew they looked better than a typical tortilla. Can’t wait to try them:-)

    Oh mama… I’d SO buy a ton of these tacos from your food truck!! Truth be told, I sometimes fantasize about dropping everything and opening up a food truck that sells cupcakes ;)

  • Vogue Vegetarian

    I was so inspired by these (and the fact I have an overflowing refrigerator full of veggies that need to be used), that I made them for lunch already! They are awesome! I had all the ingredients except the summer squash so I just used an extra zucchini. I was so excited to eat them that I forgot the feta-Dang it! But I cut double the veggies so I can roast more tonight for dinner. Super yummy, thanks!

    I just made this today and it was SOOOOOOOOO good. You didn’t mention where the 1/4 tsp of salt went. I added it to the veggies. But I also had to add salt to the avocado cream sauce (my sauce ended up having a very overpowering lime flavor. which also, is it lime or lemon you use? ingredient list says lime, but instructions say lemon).

    ANYWAY, once everything was put together, it was DELICIOUS!!!!!

    • kavitha

      i use lime in mine and it never seemed overpowering to me :)

  • sg87

    They are delicious! I bulked out the recipe so it would last me a few days so had diced peppers, sweetcorn, red onions, courgette, aubergine, mushrooms, tomatoes and also black eyes beans and pinto beans. Delicious!

    Thank you!!!! I hadn’t ever thought to grill veggies like this for tacos…and the avocado sauce is a new idea too. I have to try these!

  • roastedroot

    Roasted vegetables are so fun to make and delicious to eat! I just recently made roasted vegetable tacos and loved them but I didn’t make an awesome avocado cream sauce. Next time I make tacos, I’m so making the avocado sauce! Looks great!

  • rederin

    This was delicious. I added cayenne, b/c that’s how I roll. I also had mushrooms I needed to use up. Yummy and easy! The veggies did take a bit of time to chop, but no problem on a Sunday night!

    I made this for lunch today and thought it was great-I prepped all the chopping yesterday and then just had to put in oven to roast. It is a very colorful recipe and tasty. I added some more salt to the Avocado sauce and lime juice (fresh)~I made some black beans for a side….It really is my most favorite recipe of the week!!!

    • naturallyella

      I tend to be a little light handed on the salt but I’m glad it turned out well for you!

  • janie g

    I’m so glad I found this recipe on pinterest. It’s truly deliciously simple and healthy! I baked some salmon and added that to the tacos, topped it with the roasted veggies, avocado cream sauce & cilantro + some monterrey jack cheese! It was HEAVEN! Thank you! It’s a keeper :)

  • kavitha

    This recipe is awesome. I usually make this when I have a bunch of leftover veggies in my fridge that I’m not sure what to do with. I also make sure to put in some diced jalapenos b/c I love my food to be spicy.
    The avocado sauce is great! I just wish there was a good way to save the sauce (without it turning brown after a day). I can’t seem to figure out how to save avocado (I’ve tried so many different methods!)

    In any case, awesome recipe, simple quick and healthy. My favorite kind!! :)

  • Heather

    I made these last night and have some leftover. They’re delish!! The avocado creama (I like calling it that for some reason) was so refreshing. I used my food processor to chop all the veggies except for the corn. So easy!
