Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, and mushrooms with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
3. Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
4. While the vegetables roast, heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Set aside.
5. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the juice of half a lime. Add a teaspoon of hot sauce if desired. Stir well to form a lime crema.
6. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over the flame of a gas stove for 20-30 seconds per side, until pliable and lightly charred.
7. Assemble the tacos by layering the roasted vegetables, black beans, and avocado slices onto each tortilla.
8. Drizzle with lime crema, top with crumbled cotija cheese, and garnish with chopped cilantro.
9. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side and enjoy!
