Roasted Pumpkin Tacos Recipes

PUMPKIN TACOS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the pumpkin in the heated oil 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the vegetable stock, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the pumpkin cubes are easily pierced through with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes. Fill warm tortillas with pumpkin; top with tomato, onion, avocado, and cilantro as desired.

ROASTED PUMPKIN TACOS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, salt & sugar. Add red onion, cover and allow to marinade while preparing the tacos. You can also prepare the onions ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 10 days. Don't forget to drain the onions before serving. Preheat oven to 425° F. Carefully peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds & cut into bite size chunks. In a bowl, toss the pumpkin in 2 tbsp olive oil, chili powder, cumin & garlic powder until evenly coated. Spread out on a baking tray, sprinkle with salt & pepper and transfer to oven to roast for 35-40 minutes, or until tender when poked with a fork. While the pumpkin is roasting, julienne the kale. In a small bowl, toss shredded kale, remaining olive oil & crushed garlic. Ensure kale is evenly coated in the oil so it will soften. Once the pumpkin is cooked, follow the directions on the packaging to heat the taco shells. To serve, top with kale, roasted pumpkin, pickled onions, a sprinkle of feta, fresh lime & cilantro. Enjoy!
