  • If you prefer a vegan option, you can omit the queso fresco or substitute it with a vegan cheese alternative.

Storage and Serving

  • These tacos are best served immediately after assembling.
  • If you have any leftover grilled zucchini or avocado salsa, store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat the zucchini, you can warm it in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
  • When serving leftovers, you can reassemble the tacos by warming the tortillas and adding the reheated zucchini and avocado salsa.
  • Feel free to garnish the tacos with additional cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
