Ingredients
- 1 medium eggplant, sliced into strips
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas

For the Fresh Salsa

- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt to taste
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the eggplant and cauliflower with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, prepare the fresh salsa. Combine diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Once the roasted vegetables are ready, assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of eggplant and cauliflower on each tortilla. Top with fresh salsa and garnish with cilantro.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these tacos immediately with extra lime wedges on the side. They pair well with a side of black beans or a simple mixed greens salad for a complete meal. Enjoy the combination of smoky roasted vegetables and zesty salsa!
