Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.

  2. In a bowl, combine the sliced plantains, red onion, and red bell pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly.

  3. Place the seasoned plantain mixture on the grill, making sure to spread them out in a single layer. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the plantains are caramelized and tender.

  4. While the plantains are grilling, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute per side, until they are soft and pliable.

  5. Remove the plantains and tortillas from the grill. To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of grilled plantains on each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado and grilled red onion and bell pepper.

  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side for a bright burst of flavor.

  7. Enjoy the wonderful combination of smoky grilled plantains, creamy avocado, and flavorful vegetables all wrapped in a warm corn tortilla.
