Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 small Japanese eggplant (chopped into 1-inch pieces)
1 cup chopped summer squash
1 red bell pepper (chopped into 1-inch pieces)
1 cup cherry tomatoes (sliced)
extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
6 tortillas
1 cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 avocados (diced)
chopped cilantro
1 serrano pepper (sliced, optional)
crumbled cotija cheese (optional)
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup tomatillo salsa
1/4 cup pepitas
1/2 avocado
handful of spinach
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
lime juice (to taste)
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the chopped eggplant, squash, red pepper and tomatoes onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and pinches of salt and pepper and roast until golden brown around the edges 25-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a food processor, blend together the tomatillo salsa, pepitas, avocado, spinach, olive oil, lime juice and pinches of salt and pepper, to taste. Chill until ready to use.
  • Assemble the tacos with the black beans, roasted vegetables, diced avocado, cilantro, serrano, and cotija, if using, and generous scoops of sauce. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 26

For the spices:
1 ½ teaspoons cumin
1 ½ teaspoons coriander
1 ½ teaspoons turmeric
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Optional: ¼ teaspoon cayenne
½ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
For the veggies:
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 3-4 cups cauliflower florets)
1 medium sweet potato, diced into ½ inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 red onion, cut into chunks
Optional: 1 cup frozen or fresh corn
2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
½ medium lime, juiced
For the black beans:
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
For serving:
8 tortillas of choice, charred for serving (I love soft corn tortillas!)
1 avocado, sliced or diced
Sliced red cabbage, for crunch
Jalapeno cashew cream sauce (DF, V)
OR Cilantro yogurt sauce
Fresh chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • First, make whatever sauce you are choosing to go with this recipe to save you time and so you are ready when it's time to eat. More in my note section below. The recipes are linked in the ingredients and can be found in the post itself and in the note section too!
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Depending on the size of your sheet pan, you may need to use two pans in order to fit all of the veggies.
  • In a small bowl, mix together all of the ingredients for the spices so they are well combined: cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, salt and pepper.
  • Add the cauliflower florets, diced sweet potato, red bell pepper, red onion, and corn (if using) to the prepared pan. Drizzle with avocado oil and lime juice. Sprinkle spices all over the veggies. Use a tong or clean hands to combine all the veggies so they are well coated with the spices and oil. I find that using hands is much easier!
  • Roast the veggies for 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through. You'll know they are done when sweet potatoes are fork tender. During the last 5-10 minutes of baking, remove the pan from the oven and add the rinsed and drained black beans right to the sheet pan with the veggies. This is simply to warm the beans in the oven without needing to use another pot or bowl!
  • Serve on charred tortillas with my favorite jalapeno cashew cream sauce, a little red cabbage for crunch, avocado slices and cilantro. Enjoy! Serves 4, 2 tacos each.
