Ingredients

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup crumbled feta cheese or queso fresco
Sliced avocado for topping (optional)
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roast the Tomatoes: In a baking dish, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread them out in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
Prepare the Tortillas: While the tomatoes are roasting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Once the tomatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Place a generous spoonful of roasted tomatoes on each tortilla, sprinkle with chopped basil and crumbled feta cheese.
Add Optional Toppings: If desired, add sliced avocado on top and serve with lime wedges.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, garnished with extra basil if desired.
