Author Notes

You can tell it’s summer when corn shows up in your CSA box. Sweet and crunchy- nothing like it! Roast it up with a little cauliflower to make a tasty, light taco filling (no beans, rice or meat needed!). Flour or corn tortillas work, and you could use sour cream instead of greek yogurt. For hot sauce, I used good ol’ Tapatio. Enjoy! —Erin Gleeson

Thanks for catching that typo! Yes! There should be chili powder as well. 1/2tsp or 1tsp depending on how spicy you like it is perfect.

This is a delicious and simple dish, but just a note: the recipe mentions chili powder, but it isn't listed among the ingredients (I used around a teaspoon when I made it).
