Instructions
- Prep and light your grill.
- While your grill is getting nice and hot, prepare your veggies. Shuck your corn and butter it on all sides. Sprinkle liberally with chili powder and salt. Cut your zucchini in half lengthwise. Cut your peaches in half and remove the pits.
- Use a little oil on your grill grate so that your veggies will not stick. Place the corn and the zucchini onto the grill and grill until cooked through. I like my zucchini to still be a little bit firm. Once the zucchini and the corn is done, put your peaches on the grill cut side down. These will cook fairly quickly. Check them after a couple of minutes. They should be sightly soft and have grill marks. Remove all the fruit and veg from the grill and set aside.
- Once your fruit and veggies have cooled enough to handle, cut the corn off of the cob and add it to a mixing bowl. Cut your zucchini and your peaches into bite sized pieces and add them into the bowl with the corn. Finely dice 1/4 a red onion and add it to your bowl. Squeeze the juice of one lime over this mixture and toss well. Set aside.
- If you are planning on eating this meal with taco meat, now is the time to make it. Add a pound of ground beef to a hot pan and begin to brown the meat. As the meat starts to brown, add your spices as well as salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook the meat until it is cooked all the way through. Set aside.
- Chop up your lettuce and avocado. Layer a generous amount of greens and avocado to each taco bowl. Top with taco meat (or omit for vegetarian), and a generous portion of salsa. Top with hot sauce and garnish with a lime wedge or two. Feel free to add different toppings! This would be great with more veggies, cheese, or even stuffed into a tortilla.
