📝Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the diced zucchini with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Spread the zucchini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

    While the zucchini is roasting, combine the black beans, corn, cilantro, and lime juice in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
