Method

Grilling Veggies

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veggies

    Wash and slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    In a large bowl, toss the sliced veggies with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Grill the Veggies

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the veggies for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Preparing Black Beans

  1. 4

    Heat Black Beans

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the canned black beans, cumin, and garlic powder. Cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.

Making Poblano Cream Sauce

  1. 5

    Roast Poblano Peppers

    Char the poblano peppers on the grill or over an open flame until the skin is blistered. Place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes to steam.

  2. 6

    Blend Sauce

    Once cooled, peel off the skin, remove seeds, and chop the poblanos. In a blender, combine the roasted poblanos, sour cream, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 7

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for 30 seconds on each side.

  2. 8

    Assemble The Veggie

    On each tortilla, layer the grilled veggies, a handful of shredded lettuce, a scoop of black beans, and a spoonful of pico de gallo. Drizzle with poblano cream sauce.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve warm and enjoy your delicious veggie tacos!
