Taco Tuesday: Grilled Summer Squash Tacos


Description

These grilled squash tacos are the epitome of summer. Grilled summer squash and avocado wrapped in a corn tortilla.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb summer squash (zucchini and yellow squash mix)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • small pinch each of chili powder, cajun seasoning, cayenne, and salt
  • 2 avocados
  • juice of 1 lime
  • salt
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • red onion
  • cojita cheese
  • cilantro

Instructions

  1. Cut the squash in half length wise and then into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  2. Toss the squash with olive oil and spices to taste.
  3. Heat the grill to medium-high and watching carefully, sear squash on all sides just until heated through and crispy on the outside. Remove from grill and place on platter.
  4. In a small bowl, mash avocados with lime juice and a pinch of salt.
  5. Optional- but I like to throw the tortillas on the grill for just a minute to heat through!
  6. To serve tacos, spread some smashed avocado on each tortilla and then top with 3-4 pieces of summer squash.
  7. Optional: top each taco with crumbled cojita cheese (or feta), fresh cilantro and thinly sliced red onion.
