Preparation
Preheat the grill to high heat.
Guacamole
Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix thoroughly. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep cool.
Tacos
Add the prepared pepper, zucchini, squash, red onion and asparagus to a large bowl and coat with the olive oil, chili powder, cumin and salt and pepper and mix until thoroughly combined.
Place the prepared vegetables into perforated grill pans and place the corn in the husks right onto the grill and roast all of the vegetables. Shake the pans and turn the corn often to cook evenly.
Note: Will take about 10 minutes total to cook everything. Vegetables should be browned and cooked to al dente.
Once everything is done cooking remove from the grill, shuck the corn and trim the corn. Discard the cob.

Place down the corn tortillas and add a small amount of cooked brown rice, black beans, roasted vegetables, guacamole, and garnish with queso fresco.
Makes 10 tacos.
