Instructions

6. Assemble the tacos by placing grilled vegetables in each tortilla and drizzling with lime crema. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Tip: Feel free to use any combination of vegetables you love; mushrooms and asparagus work great too!

For the best flavor, let the vegetables marinate in the chipotle mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling. You can easily customize this recipe by using your favorite seasonal vegetables or even adding some grilled pineapple for a sweet twist.

To store leftovers, keep the grilled vegetables and lime crema in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the vegetables in a skillet or microwave before serving.
