Delicious Butternut Squash and Apple Tacos

This taco recipe features roasted butternut squash and diced apples seasoned with spices, all wrapped in soft tortillas. The dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

2 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 apple, cored and diced (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Squash: In a bowl, toss the diced butternut squash with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Roast the Squash: Spread the butternut squash on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Combine with Apples: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, add the diced apple to the baking sheet and continue roasting until the apples are just tender.
Warm the Tortillas: While the squash and apples are roasting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with the roasted butternut squash and apple mixture. Top with crumbled feta cheese and chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately.
