2. Next, add the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, cumin and paprika to the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
3. Transfer the ingredients to a baking tray. Roast until tender and lightly brown for 20 to 25 minutes.
4. While vegetables are roasting, smash the avocado with a fork, then add the Greek yoghurt, coriander, Lime essential oil and a toothpick swirl of Cilantro. Mix it all together until you reach a creamy consistency.
5. To assemble the tacos, warm up tortillas in a pan inside the oven or on a heated griddle.
6. Once warmed through, assemble the tacos with the roasted veggies, followed by a spoon of avocado cream. Finally, sprinkle feta on top and garnish with cilantro.
