# What You Need:

02 - 2 yellow bell peppers, cored and sliced into strips
03 - 1 red onion, peeled and sliced into half-moons
04 - 1 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into strips
05 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
→ Spices and Seasonings
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 2 tablespoons Tajin seasoning
08 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
09 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
→ Cheese
12 - 5.3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
→ For Serving
13 - 8 small flour or corn tortillas
14 - Fresh cilantro, chopped
15 - Lime wedges
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, zucchini strips, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle Tajin seasoning, smoked paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt over the top. Toss thoroughly until all vegetables are evenly coated.
03 - Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single even layer across the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding. Roast for 20 to 22 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred at the edges.
04 - Remove the baking sheet from the oven and scatter the crumbled feta evenly over the hot vegetables. Return to the oven for 3 additional minutes, just until the feta softens and begins to warm through.
05 - While the feta finishes, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 to 30 seconds until pliable.
06 - Spoon the roasted vegetable and feta mixture down the center of each warm tortilla. Top generously with fresh chopped cilantro and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice. Fold and serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Everything roasts on one pan, which means cleanup is almost nonexistent and you get those beautiful caramelized edges without standing over a stove.
- Tajin and feta together create this salty tangy citrus explosion that regular fajita seasoning simply cannot match.
- It is vegetarian but so satisfying that even dedicated carnivores will go back for seconds.
02 -
- Do not crowd the pan or the vegetables will steam instead of char, use two sheet pans if necessary.
- Add the feta at the very end, not at the beginning, or it will burn and turn rubbery before the vegetables finish cooking.
03 -
- Slice all vegetables roughly the same thickness so they finish cooking at the same time and you never bite into a raw piece of zucchini next to a mushy pepper.
- Let the sheet pan preheat in the oven for five minutes before adding the vegetables, that burst of bottom heat creates an incredible sear you cannot get any other way.
