Ingredients

Roasted Vegetables

  • 6 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
  • A pinch of pepper to taste
  • 2 medium onions sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 2 large carrots peeled and sliced into thin, 2-inch batons
  • 3 large portabella mushrooms sliced

Assembly

  • 8 6- inch corn tortillas
  • 1/2 recipe avocado crema or guacamole and some dairy-free yogurt
  • 1/4 cup of drained pickled red onions
  • 1/4 cup cilantro roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 ℉.  Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, add the avocado oil, cumin, garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, chili powder, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • To a mixing bowl, add your onions and carrots and half of your marinade. Toss to coat, then transfer them to your baking sheet in a single layer. Place in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • To the same mixing bowl, add your sliced mushrooms and the rest of the marinade. Toss to coat well and place in a single layer on the other baking sheet. 
  • At the 10 minute mark, place the mushrooms into the oven on a different rack. Give the onions and carrots a toss and put it back in the oven. Let them bake for 10 more minutes until all vegetables are tender.
  • Warm your tortillas, then assemble your tacos. Stuff each tortilla with your roasted vegetables then top with avocado crema or guacamole and dairy-free yogurt, pickled red onions, and cilantro. Enjoy!

Variations:

  • Make a meal: Enjoy with a side salad or some rice and beans on the side.
  • Lower Potassium: Substitute 2 small zucchinis, cut into 2-inch long and ¼-inch thick batons, for the mushrooms to lower potassium to 325 mg per serving. Cook them the same way as you would the mushrooms. Using dairy-free yogurt instead of the avocado crema or guacamole further reduces potassium to 260 mg per serving.
