Easy Grilled Veggie Tacos
These tacos feature a medley of grilled vegetables, including bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion, all marinated in a lemon herb dressing. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and corn to the marinade. Toss to coat and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
- Grill the Vegetables: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated vegetables on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the vegetables are grilling, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos: Remove the grilled vegetables from the grill and let them cool slightly. Fill each tortilla with the grilled veggies, and top with fresh cilantro and avocado slices if desired.
- Serve: Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
