Delicious vegan taco recipe perfect for meatless tacos Tuesday.
I could eat these roasted vegetable tacos every day! So simple to make and very filling, and a great excuse to put a cool, tasty salsa on top.
My favorite tacos are traditional carne asada with cilantro, onions, and lime juice. These vegetable tacos are meatless and feature a funky twist on pico de gallo. Instead of your standard fare, I use a medley of heirloom cherry tomatoes and diced peaches which pair well with the different vegetables including the cauliflower, zucchini, and portabella mushrooms.

These look delicious but my vegetarian DD won't eat mushrooms. Do you think I could substitute them with tofu and still make this work?

I think you would be fine with tofu or even tempeh for that matter. Corn, black beans, and butternut squash are also options.
