# How to Cook:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and position the rack in the center.
02 - Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, red onion, zucchini strips, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Tajín, smoked paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Toss until every piece is evenly coated.
04 - Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single even layer across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring space between pieces for proper roasting.
05 - Roast for 20 to 22 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred at the edges.
06 - Remove the pan from the oven and scatter the crumbled feta over the hot vegetables. Return to the oven for 3 additional minutes until the feta softens and begins to warm through.
07 - Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for 30 seconds until pliable.
08 - Spoon the roasted vegetables and feta into warm tortillas. Finish with a generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Everything cooks on a single sheet pan which means cleanup is almost nonexistent and that alone is reason enough to make it tonight.
- The Tajin adds this bright citrusy chili kick that turns plain roasted vegetables into something you actually crave.
02 -
- Do not pile the vegetables on top of each other or they will steam instead of roast and you will miss out on all those beautiful charred edges that make this dish special.
- I once forgot the feta until after plating and sprinkled it on cold which still tasted fine but the warm creamy version is infinitely better.
03 -
- Taste your Tajin before using it because some bottles are saltier than others and you may want to dial back the added salt accordingly.
- Let the vegetables sit on the pan for two minutes after adding the feta before serving because that brief rest lets the flavors settle and the cheese reach that perfect soft but still crumbly texture.
