- 1 medium zucchini, diced - 1 red bell pepper, chopped - 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped - 1 red onion, sliced - 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen or canned) - 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 2 teaspoons chipotle powder - 1 teaspoon cumin - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika - Salt and pepper to taste - 8 small corn tortillas - 1 avocado, sliced - Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish) - Lime wedges (for serving) Each ingredient plays an important role. The veggies add texture and flavor. Black beans give protein. Corn brings sweetness. The spices are what make these tacos shine. Chipotle powder adds heat and smokiness. Cumin gives a warm, earthy taste. Smoked paprika adds depth and a slight sweetness. Salt and pepper enhance all these flavors. Garnishes can take your tacos to the next level. Sliced avocado adds creaminess. Fresh cilantro gives a burst of flavor. Lime wedges add a zesty kick. You can mix and match these to suit your taste. Start by gathering all your veggies. You need one medium zucchini, one red bell pepper, one yellow bell pepper, and one red onion. Dice the zucchini and chop the bell peppers. Slice the onion into thin pieces. Now, grab a large bowl. Add the diced zucchini, chopped peppers, sliced onion, one cup of corn, and one can of black beans. Draining and rinsing the black beans is important to remove extra salt. Next, drizzle two tablespoons of olive oil over the mixed veggies. Add two teaspoons of chipotle powder, one teaspoon of cumin, and one teaspoon of smoked paprika. Don't forget to sprinkle some salt and pepper. Toss everything well until all the veggies get coated with the oil and spices. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the veggie mixture evenly across the sheet in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This helps the veggies roast better. Now, roast them in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. Halfway through, take them out and stir the veggies. This ensures even cooking. You want them tender and slightly charred for that smoky flavor. While the veggies are roasting, warm your corn tortillas. You can do this on a pan or right over the flame until they are soft and flexible. Once the veggies are ready, take them out of the oven. Now it’s time to assemble the tacos! Place a generous scoop of the roasted veggie mix on each tortilla. Top them with sliced avocado for creaminess. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick. Enjoy your vibrant Chipotle Veggie Tacos!

Carrots and broccoli work well too. Just remember to cut them small to help them cook evenly. If you want to add protein, try chickpeas or tofu. They soak up flavors well. For meat lovers, grilled chicken or shrimp are great choices. Just cook them separately and add them to the tacos when you assemble. You can make your tacos as spicy or mild as you like. For a mild taste, skip the chipotle powder. You can use smoked paprika instead. If you like spice, add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Adjust the heat to fit your taste buds.

You can store them in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, it’s best to freeze the veggie mixture. To reheat the veggie mixture, use a skillet over medium heat. Stir until heated through, which takes about five minutes. You can also microwave it for 1-2 minutes in a microwave-safe bowl. For tortillas, warm them in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. This will keep them soft and tasty. To freeze the veggie mixture, first let it cool completely. Transfer it to a freezer-safe bag or container. Make sure to remove as much air as possible. The veggie mix can be frozen for up to three months. When you’re ready to use it, thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating. Yes, you can make this recipe gluten-free. The key is to use corn tortillas. These are naturally gluten-free and perfect for your tacos. Always check the packaging to ensure no gluten is present.
