Instructions
- Step 1: Start by making the pickled onions. Combine the thinly sliced onions with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt in an airtight jar or container. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes.
- Step 2: While the onions pickle, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 3: Chop the cauliflower into large 2-inch florets and dice the unpeeled eggplant into 1-inch pieces. Place the eggplant and cauliflower on a lined baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and roast for 20 minutes.
- Step 4: After 20 minutes, add the sliced zucchini to the vegetables and toss everything with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the 1.5 tablespoons of taco seasoning. Spread the vegetables in a single layer and roast for 10 more minutes.
- Step 5: Taco time! Warm the tortillas in a dry, hot skillet (or over an open flame) for 15 to 30 seconds per side until the tortillas are pliable and soft. Note: If you want an optional cheesy taco base, add a sprinkling of shredded cheese to your warmed taco and cover the pan with a lid for about 30 seconds, or until the cheese begins to melt.
- Serve: Top each tortilla with the warm vegetables, pickled onions, guacamole, cilantro, and optional cheese.
