These tacos feature roasted butternut squash seasoned with garlic and spices, served in warm tortillas. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or cotija cheese (optional)
Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Squash: In a large bowl, toss the diced butternut squash with olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Roast the Squash: Spread the seasoned squash on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
Warm the Tortillas: While the squash is roasting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Once the squash is done, fill each tortilla with a generous amount of roasted butternut squash, black beans, avocado slices, and cheese if using.
Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
