→ For Serving
11 - 8 small flour or corn tortillas
12 - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - Spread the sliced bell peppers, red onion wedges, zucchini half-moons, and halved cherry tomatoes in an even layer across the prepared sheet pan.
03 - Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle with Tajin seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until all vegetables are evenly coated.
04 - Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and develop light char marks.
05 - Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta evenly over the roasted vegetables. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the feta softens and lightly browns.
06 - While the vegetables finish roasting, warm the tortillas either wrapped in foil in the oven or heated briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat.
07 - Spoon the roasted vegetables and feta into warm tortillas. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Add sour cream and avocado slices if desired. Serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The Tajin does all the heavy lifting for seasoning, so you get bold flavor with almost zero effort.
- Sheet pan cooking means one pan to wash and twenty minutes of hands-off oven time.
- Feta melting into roasted vegetables is the kind of happy accident you will want to repeat every week.
02 -
- Do not crowd the vegetables on the pan because overlapping pieces will steam instead of roast and you will lose that caramelized flavor.
- Add the feta after the first fifteen minutes rather than at the beginning because it will dry out and become rubbery if it roasts too long.
03 -
- Slice all your vegetables roughly the same thickness so they roast evenly and finish cooking at the same time.
- Taste the Tajin on its own before seasoning so you understand its salt level and can adjust accordingly.
