ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line one large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon chili pepper and a pinch of salt and pepper. Arrange the butternut in a single layer. Bake until the butternut is tender throughout and caramelized on the edges, about 30 to 35 minutes, tossing halfway.
• Meanwhile, to assemble the slaw: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, black beans, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and salt. Toss to combine, then taste and add additional lime juice and/or salt if necessary. Set aside to marinate.
• To prepare the guacamole: In a small bowl, combine the diced avocado, lime juice, coriander and salt. Mash with a pastry cutter, potato masher or fork until the mixture is blended and no longer chunky. Taste and add additional salt if necessary.
• To warm the tortillas: In a small skillet over medium heat, warm each tortilla on both sides before transferring to a plate and covering with a lint-free towel to keep warm. Repeat with each tortilla, stacking each warmed tortilla on the last.

SPICY, CHEESY, BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND CHICKEN SAUSAGE TACOS

Steps:

• Peppers and Squash -- Peel the butternut squash, cut and add to a bowl. Then add the pepper and toss in the bowl as well. Coat well and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Put them on a cookie sheet that is lined with parchment paper or foil and then roast at 425°F for 15-20 minutes until the squash is soft and the peppers start to brown.
• Peppers -- After the peppers are nice and brown, remove and put in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 10-15 minutes. This will allow the skin to peel off easily.
• Remove the squash and cover to cool. After the peppers set, peel and chop and add to the squash and cover to keep warm.
• Filling -- As the squash and peppers roast, saute the onions in a medium saute pan with the remaining olive oil. Then add the sausage and cook until slightly brown, then the broth and cook until the liquid is reduced. About 5 more minutes.
• Tortillas -- I like to heat my tortillas just in a foil wrapped pouch in a 350°F oven for about 20 minute.
• Sour Cream -- 1 cup sour cream plus the cumin, chili powder and cilantro.
• Stuff and Enjoy! -- In my warm tortilla -- I like to add some of the butternut squash and peppers, then some of the cheese, a little of the sausage and onions and a little more cheese. A squeeze of lime and it is perfect!
