Ingredients
Scale
Main Vegetables:
- 3 Bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
- 1 Red onion
- 2 Tomatoes
- 1 Avocado
Fresh Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
Taco Base:
- 6 Corn tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare all vegetables by washing and slicing bell peppers and red onion into thin strips; chop tomatoes for fresh salsa topping.
- Heat a skillet over medium temperature (around 350°F), drizzle with olive oil, and sauté the vegetable strips until they become softened and slightly caramelized, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- While vegetables are cooking, gently warm corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for about 30 seconds, ensuring they remain pliable and tender.
- Create the tacos by layering the warm tortillas with the sautéed vegetable medley, adding fresh diced tomatoes and creamy avocado slices for vibrant texture and flavor.
- Enhance the taco’s brightness by squeezing fresh lime juice over the assembled tacos and garnishing with chopped cilantro leaves for a burst of herbal freshness before serving immediately.
Notes
- Swap tortillas for lettuce wraps to create a low-carb, gluten-free version perfect for keto dieters.
- Roast vegetables instead of sautéing for deeper, caramelized flavor and enhanced natural sweetness.
- Add protein like black beans or tofu crumbles to make the tacos more filling and nutritionally balanced.
- Prepare extra veggies and store in airtight container for quick meal prep during busy weekdays.
