# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat 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 bell peppers, red onion, zucchini strips, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, then add Tajin seasoning, smoked paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated.
03 - Arrange the seasoned vegetables in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet. 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 over the hot vegetables. Return to the oven for 3 additional minutes 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.
06 - Spoon the roasted vegetables and softened feta into the warm tortillas. Finish with a generous sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- Everything cooks on one pan, which means you get maximum flavor and minimum dishwashing, a trade I will always accept.
- The Tajin and feta combination is the kind of happy accident that makes you feel like a genius in your own kitchen.
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the fastest way to steam your vegetables instead of roasting them, so use two pans if needed.
- Do not skip the final three minutes with feta, because that brief melt transforms the texture from crumbly to luxuriously creamy.
03 -
- Let the vegetables sit for two minutes after adding feta before serving, because the cheese continues to soften from residual heat and spreads more evenly.
- Warm your tortillas at the very last second so they stay pliable, because a cold stiff tortilla ruins the entire texture of a good fajita.
