Southern Veggie Tacos

These southern-style veggie tacos are packed with flavor and are easy to make since we roast everything in the same pan to make clean up a breeze.  Roasting the veggies intensifies their natural flavor, then we’ve stirred in our salsa to add a rich tomato flavor with a kick. Serve the veggie mixture in corn tortillas and top with cilantro for fresh flavor and French fried onions for extra crunch!
