Grilled Vegetable Tacos: The Ultimate Sheet Pan Dinner

The Batch Cooking Advantage: Because this recipe serves 10, you are already making enough for more than just your immediate family. This is your golden ticket to becoming a certified Dinner Angel!

How to Master This Easy Dinner (And Scale It Up)

The beauty of this recipe is that the prep is straightforward, but the flavor is deeply satisfying. Here is how you can tackle this delicious batch:

1. Prep the Poblano Sauce: Preheat your grill to high. Grill the poblano peppers until charred on all sides. Let them rest, then remove the skins and seeds. In a blender, combine the roasted peppers, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, and garlic until perfectly smooth. Set this creamy sauce aside.
2. Marinate the Veggies: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, cumin, chili powder, paprika, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, pepper, and Tabasco. Toss all the sheet pan veggies (asparagus, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, and green onions) in this marinade until fully coated.
3. Grill Everything: Spread the marinated vegetables across a sheet tray. Place the tray on the preheated grill and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, turning frequently, until everything is crisp-tender.
4. Assemble and Serve: Let the veggies cool and chop them into strips. Heat your tortillas on the grill. Assemble the tacos by layering poblano cream, the grilled veggies, more poblano cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
