Ingredients

3-4 small zucchini or summer squash
1-2 bell peppers any color
2 Tbsps. olive oil
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. Adobo seasoning
⅛ tsp. salt adjust to taste
⅛ tsp. pepper adjust to taste
1 can black beans or beans of choice
1 package tortillas corn or flour
1-2 cups spinach or other leafy greens
1 avocado
½ cup cilantro
½ cup Queso Fresco
limes and hot sauce optional

Instructions

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Wash and chop 3-4 small zucchini or summer squash into rounds. Cut the zucchini rounds in half.
Wash and cut 1-2 bell peppers into large chunks. You can use any color bell pepper you like.
Place the chopped veggies on a baking sheet. Feel free to use 2 baking sheets if the veggies don't fit onto one pan.
Drizzle the veggies with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle 1 tsp. smoked paprika, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder, 1 tsp. ground cumin, 1 tsp. Adobo seasoning, and ⅛ tsp. or so of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Place the baking sheet(s) in the oven and roast for 20-22 minutes. Stir the veggies once during the roasting process to prevent sticking. Remove the pan(s) once the veggies are roasted and set aside.
Heat 1 can of black beans (or beans of choice) on the stove top as the veggies are roasting according to package instructions.
Chop 1-2 cups of spinach or leafy greens. Cut 1 avocado into slices. Mince ½ cup fresh cilantro.
To serve: Heat tortillas if desired. Place a few spoonfuls of black beans and a few spoonfuls of roasted veggies onto tortilla. Sprinkle chopped greens, cilantro, and Queso Fresco cheese on taco. Garnish with avocado, a squeeze of lime, and a dash of hot sauce.
