Instructions
 

Make the Spicy BBQ Sauce:

    - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

      - Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

        Prepare the Veggie Filling:

          - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

            - Add the diced zucchini, bell pepper, corn, black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

              Combine with BBQ Sauce:

                - Pour the prepared BBQ sauce over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Stir to coat all the veggies in the sauce, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

                  Warm the Tortillas:

                    - In a separate pan or directly over an open flame, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they become pliable.

                      Assemble the Tacos:

                        - Take a warm tortilla and add a generous scoop of the spicy BBQ veggie filling to the center. Top with chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and diced jalapeños (if using). Serve with lime wedges on the side.

                          Enjoy:

                            - Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Spicy BBQ Veggie Tacos with friends and family!
