Directions for Tacos
Skewer the zucchini through their green ends and not through the soft center. Skewer the tomatoes lengthwise. Skewer the mushrooms through the center.
Using a gas or charcoal grill, set up 2 heat areas for direct and indirect heat*
Peppers – Lightly oil. Grill for 4 minutes per side, turning 4 times, keeping the pepper on its side.
Zucchini – Lightly oil. Sprinkle on the spice mix below and the salt + pepper. Grill for 5-6 minutes, turning twice, flat side face down.
Onions – Lightly oil. Sprinkle on salt + pepper. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, turning twice, flat side down. Flip with a spatula to keep the rings in tact.
Mushrooms – Lightly oil. Sprinkle on the spice mix below and salt + pepper. Grill for 3 minutes per side, turning twice.
Tomatoes – Lightly oil. Sprinkle on the spice mix below and salt + pepper. Grill for 3 minutes per side, turning twice.
Avocado – Lightly oil. Sprinkle with salt + pepper. Grill for 4 minutes, flat side down.
Butternut Squash- Toss in a tad bit more oil and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Cook over indirect heat directly on grill for approx. 20 min, then finish over direct to achieve nice char for another 10min.
Corn Tortillas – Towards the end of the veggie grilling, rub the corn tortillas with a light amount oil [on both sides], a few squeezes of lime juice, and a sprinkle of salt. With your grill lid open, grill each side for nice grill marks, approx. 30 seconds each side…
Remove the veggies to a platter and let rest until cool enough to handle.
