Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, ensuring the surface is clean and lightly oiled.
- Prepare the vegetables by washing and slicing bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into uniform strips approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Toss the sliced vegetables in olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
- Arrange the vegetable slices on the hot grill, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until they develop nice char marks and become tender-crisp.
- While vegetables are grilling, prepare the avocado cream by combining ripe avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for 30-45 seconds per side to enhance their flavor and make them more pliable.
- Remove grilled vegetables from heat and let them rest for a minute.
- Assemble tacos by placing grilled vegetables inside warm tortillas and topping with a generous dollop of avocado cream.
- Serve immediately while vegetables are hot and tortillas are warm, optionally garnishing with additional lime wedges or fresh herbs.
Tips
- Slice vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and beautiful presentation.
- Use a grill pan if outdoor grilling isn't possible—the key is getting those delicious char marks.
- Don't overcrowd the grill; give vegetables space to caramelize properly.
- For extra flavor, consider marinating vegetables in olive oil and herbs before grilling.
- Make avocado cream just before serving to prevent browning.
- Warm tortillas immediately before serving to maintain optimal texture and temperature.
- Experiment with different seasonal vegetables to keep the recipe exciting and fresh.
