PORTOBELLO AND ZUCCHINI TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss mushrooms with 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/4 cup water; season with salt and pepper. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss zucchini and onion with remaining teaspoon oregano and tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Place both sheets in oven. Roast, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are browned and fork-tender, 25 to 30 minutes (zucchini may cook faster than mushrooms).
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium-high heat, warm tortillas according to package instructions (they should be lightly browned but still soft). Wrap loosely in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
• To serve, fill each tortilla with mushrooms, vegetable mixture, shredded cheese, and salsa.

ZUCCHINI TACOS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add zucchini in a single layer; sprinkle with cumin and coriander. Cook, turning once, until golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Season with salt and pepper; cover to keep warm. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining oil, onion, and garlic to skillet; cook, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute. Add beans and 1/2 cup water, season with salt and pepper, and simmer, smashing some beans with a spoon, until heated through.
• With tongs, toast each tortilla over a burner until charred in places; wrap in a towel. Fill with sour cream, beans, zucchini, cheese, and radishes. Serve, with jalapenos, carrots, and lime alongside.

CARAMELIZED CORN AND BLACK BEAN TACOS WITH ROAST ZUCCHINI SALSA AND ROASTED POBLANO CREMA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the corn, toss and let it sit cooking until charred, mix it up and let it char again, about 6-10 minutes.
• Add the onion and jalapeno and saute until tender, about 2-3 minutes.
• Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
• Mix in the black beans, remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
• Assemble the tacos by topping the tortillas with the corn and black beans followed by the zucchini salsa, roasted poblano crema, queso fresco and cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

ZUCCHINI AND CORN TACOS

Steps:

• Heat half of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Toast corn 5 minutes, stirring; season with salt. Remove corn; set aside. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in skillet. Cook onion, stirring, until it caramelizes, 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook 10 minutes. Add zucchini; cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes; season with salt. Add corn, beans, epazote and pepper. Cook 3 minutes. Split filling among tortillas; top each with 1 1/2 teaspoons salsa and 1 teaspoon cheese.

CHARRED CORN TACOS WITH ZUCCHINI SLAW

Steps:

• Cut radishes and zucchini into tiny matchsticks with a mandoline. If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a peeler to peel thick ribbons down the long side of the zucchini. Stack the ribbons and cut them crosswise into thin matchsticks. Cut the radishes into a similar shape by hand. Toss radishes and zucchini together. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the radish and season with salt to taste. Add more lime juice if desired. Set aside.
• Over a hot grill or an open gas-stove flame char the ears of corn until well-blackened but not completely burnt. If you're using the burner method, you'll probably, quickly, notice that corn likes to pop and snap, occasionally spraying you with splats of corn. It's a little scary, which is I why I suggest you remove anyone small and easily harmed before you begin. However, I found the charred corn flavor to be completely worth the scare and hope you do too.
• Remove cobs from heat, and when cool enough to handle, shave off kernels using a large knife and reserve.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Melt the butter and oil together and once hot, add the onion. Cook the onion for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Add the beans and sauté until hot, about three to five minutes. Turn heat to high, add the charred kernels of corn to the mixture, and toss to combine until heated through. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the corn mixture, and use the juice to scrape up any stuck bits. Season the corn mixture with salt and chili powder. Stir in chopped herbs.
• Heat your tortillas by placing them one at a time directly on a gas stove burner, using tongs to flip them after a minute or starting to brown and blister.
• Fill each taco with a few small spoonfuls of the corn mixture and slaw. Top with a spoonful of crumbled cheese. Serve with an extra lime wedge on the side, and whatever fixings you like (sour cream, avocado wedges, etc. See above).

ZUCCHINI TACOS

Steps:

• Saute in pan on medium heat, in oil, zucchini, mushrooms, and onions. Set table up as a buffet with plates, putting tortillas first, the bowl of zucchini mixture and then taco condiments. Place a scoop of veggie mixture in center of tortilla, and top with your favorite codiments. Fold tortillas over 4 ways and eat warm. Enjoy!
• Variations: Add 2 cups cooked chicken or meat to veg. mixture.
• Add 1 cup tofu to veg. mixture for added protein.
• Add 1 cup black beans.

BLACK BEAN, ZUCCHINI, & OLIVE TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat a heavy bottomed skille tover medium-high heat. Pour in the oil and add the zucchini and jalapeno, sprinkle with the salt. Saute for about 7 minutes, or until the zucchini is lightly browned.
• Add the garlic, olives, cumin, and coriander, and saute for 2 minutes more.
• Add the salsa verde and black beans and cook for 5 minutes. The salsa should reduce a bit so its not soupy.
• Mix the ingredients for the Garlic-Lemon Yogurt if your using.
• Warm the tortillas in a skillet or wrap in a moist towel & nuke for a minute. Assembly the tacos by adding the filling, yogurt, and topping with scallions. Enjoy!

PORTABELLA AND ZUCCHINI TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F On a large rimmed baking sheet, combine mushrooms, water, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 tablespoon oil, and salt & pepper to taste. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss the zucchini & onions with the remaining oregano & oil; season with salt & pepper.
• Roast, tossing occasionally, until veggies are browned and fork-tender, 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them - the zucchini & onions will be done sooner than the mushrooms.
• When roasting is almost finished, heat a small skillet over medium high heat and warm tortillas briefly on each side. This goes very quickly - you want them a bit browned but still nice and soft. Wrap warm tortillas in a clean kitchen towel until serving time.
• To serve, pile on the filling and toppings as you wish!
