If you're craving something vibrant and fresh, these Avocado Tacos are just what you need. With grilled veggies and creamy avocado, they're a delightful twist on your typical taco night.
Avocados bring a creamy texture and rich taste that perfectly complements the grilled vegetables. Make sure they're ripe for the best flavor. Olive oil coats the veggies to prevent sticking and adds a subtle richness. The combination of red and yellow bell peppers provides a sweet, roasted flavor, while the red onion offers a gentle bite and sweetness once caramelized. Zucchini adds a light, fresh element to the mix. Canned black beans are hearty and earthy, balancing the vibrant veggies. Lastly, taco seasoning ties it all together with a kick of spice, and the corn tortillas serve as the perfect vessel, offering a slightly nutty taste.
These tacos pair wonderfully with a light, refreshing salad, like a cucumber and tomato mix. If you're in the mood for something heartier, serve them alongside a bowl of Mexican rice.
Start by preheating your grill pan over medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to char the veggies nicely. While that's heating up, drizzle the olive oil over your sliced bell peppers, onion, and zucchini. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning. The seasoning will add a punch of flavor, so don't be shy.
Once your grill pan is ready, toss the seasoned veggies on. Keep an eye on them and turn them occasionally. You're aiming for them to be tender and slightly charred, which should take about 5-7 minutes. As they're grilling, heat the black beans in a small pot over medium heat until they're warmed through.
With the beans warming and veggies grilling, slice your avocados and set them aside. Once the veggies are done, take them off the grill and quickly warm the corn tortillas on the same pan. About 30 seconds on each side should do the trick.
Now for the fun part: assembling the tacos. Lay out your tortillas and spoon on the grilled veggies and black beans. Top each one with a few slices of avocado. Serve them with lime wedges for an extra burst of freshness when squeezed on top.
