Description

Season fresh veggies with a squeeze of lime and flavorful spices. Then cook them over a fired-up grill to make this delicious, meatless meal-in-one.

Ingredients

1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices
1 medium summer squash, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices
1 sweet onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, cored and cut into quarters
1 orange or yellow bell pepper, cored and cut into quarters
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium lime, halved
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
8 (6 inch) corn or flour tortillas, warmed
1/2 cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese
1 teaspoon Fresh cilantro

Directions

1 Arrange cut vegetables on large rimmed baking pan. Brush both sides with olive oil and squeeze juice of 1/2 lime over vegetables. Combine cumin, chili powder, salt, cayenne and black pepper to taste in small bowl. Sprinkle on veggies.
2 Heat grill. Arrange vegetables on oiled grate or in grill pan. Grill 8 to 10 minutes, turning as necessary, until warm and tender, adding avocado halves halfway through, cut-side down.
3 Chop veggies and slice avocados. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve in warm tortillas with wedges of remaining lime. Top with cheese and garnish with cilantro.
4 TIP: To warm tortillas on grill, arrange tortillas in single layer on hot grate. Heat 2 to 3 minutes until warm through and small brown spots appear, turning once or twice.
