Roasted Butternut Squash Tacos Recipes

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line one large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
• To roast the squash: On your prepared baking sheet, toss the cubed butternut in enough olive oil to lightly coat all sides, about 2 tablespoons. 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.
• To assemble the tacos, spoon an ample amount of slaw down the center of your taco, top with roasted butternut and spread a spoonful of guacamole down the side. Top with garnishes of your choice and serve immediately.

• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Add the kale and 1/2 teaspoon salt and saute until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• In a bowl, combine the chickpeas, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, the remaining lime juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mash until chunky. Add the avocado and mash again until fully combined.
• To assemble the tacos: Spread 1 tablespoon of the avocado hummus on a tortilla, top with 1/4 cup of the roasted squash and some sauteed kale. Sprinkle with queso fresco.
