Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 4 corn or flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Zucchini: Wash zucchinis thoroughly and slice lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick
- Make Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, and lime juice. Toss zucchini strips until well coated
- Preheat Grill: Heat grill to medium-high heat, ensuring grates are clean and lightly oiled
- Grill Zucchini: Grill zucchini for 3-4 minutes on each side until tender and charred with grill marks
- Warm Tortillas: Place tortillas on grill for about one minute to warm and add slight char

Notes
- Pat zucchini dry before marinating to help seasonings stick better and prevent steaming
- Let zucchini marinate for 10-15 minutes before grilling for deeper flavor penetration
- Don’t overcrowd the grill – cook zucchini in batches if needed for proper charring
- Use tongs instead of a fork to flip zucchini to prevent piercing and losing juices
