# What you'll need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 2 large bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow), cored and sliced into strips
02 - 1 large red onion, peeled and sliced into thin wedges
03 - 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons about 1/4 inch thick
04 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
→ Cheese
05 - 7 oz feta cheese, crumbled
→ Seasonings
06 - 2 tbsp olive oil
07 - 2 tbsp Tajin seasoning
08 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
09 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
10 - Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
→ For Serving
11 - 8 small flour or corn tortillas
12 - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
13 - 1 lime, cut into wedges
14 - Optional: sour cream and avocado slices
# How to make it:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - Arrange the sliced bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and halved cherry tomatoes in an even layer on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Tajin seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the top. Toss everything together until all vegetables are evenly coated.
03 - Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the vegetables for 15 minutes, until they begin to soften and develop light char marks on the edges.
04 - Remove the pan from the oven and scatter the crumbled feta evenly over the roasted vegetables. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, until the feta softens and turns lightly golden.
05 - While the vegetables finish roasting, warm the tortillas either by wrapping them in aluminum foil and placing them in the oven for the last few minutes, or by heating them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat.
06 - Spoon the roasted vegetables and melted feta into the warm tortillas. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and a generous squeeze of lime juice. Add sour cream or avocado slices if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
# Expert suggestions:
01 -
- Sheet pan means exactly one dish to wash, which is honestly the love language of weeknight cooking.
- Tajin and feta together create this salty tangy crust on roasted vegetables that makes you forget meat ever existed.
02 -
- Do not crowd the pan or the vegetables will steam instead of roast, use two pans if you are doubling the recipe.
- The feta only needs five minutes, any longer and it completely dissolves into a salty puddle rather than staying in creamy clumps.
03 -
- Pat the feta dry before crumbling so it browns instead of steaming in its own brine.
- Taste your Tajin before using it because brands vary wildly in salt content, some need almost no additional seasoning.
