These tacos are proof that simple can still be stunning. With smoky grilled vegetables, a sprinkle of queso fresco, and a chilled glass of rosé on the side, this is peak summer flavor—no meat required.

Pairs with: Rosé – Its crisp, fruity profile balances the smoky vegetables and creamy cheese without overpowering the dish.
