Chipotle Roasted Vegetable Tacos

Thursdays seem like a good morning to make confessions. And here is mine – I’m done with wheat tortillas. A year or two ago, I made my own tortillas any time I needed them. So I bought the whole wheat ones at H-E-B. And then, this week, I bought the regular ones on a whim, and they were so ridiculously good that I decided, enough. No more wheat tortillas.

I’ll keep eating brown rice and whole wheat pasta and wheat bread, but I draw the line at tortillas. Life is just too short (and might be getting shorter . . . ).

Now that we have that out of the way, I can talk about tacos. McCormick sent me a box of taco spices and I was instantly sold on the chipotle chile powder. With the explosion of vegetables with spring here, it was an easy call to make some vegetarian tacos with as many roasted vegetables as I could squeeze in.

I had the somewhat dubious idea to use homemade hummus in my tacos and, people, this was the best idea ever. It helped the fillings stay inside the taco where it belonged (don’t you hate it when you finish a taco and discover that you actually have half your taco scattered all over your plate (and shirt)?), and it made them feel a little more substantial than a vegetarian taco might usually seem.

These roasted veggie tacos were super quick to assemble, and I’m pretty certain I’ll be making these all summer long to use up the random vegetables in my CSA.

You can’t go wrong with a recipe that starts with a pan like this:
