Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Butternut Squash and Black Bean Tacos.
Step 1
Start by spiralizing the butternut squash using the large shredding blade to create beautiful, curly spirals that will add a fun twist to your tacos.
Step 2
In a skillet, warm up 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the spiralized squash and sauté for about 3 minutes, just until it starts to soften.
Step 4
Next, sprinkle in your taco seasoning, stirring it in to coat the squash evenly.
Step 5
Then, add in the black beans and halved tomatoes, cooking everything together for another 5 minutes.
Step 6
Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally until the beans are warmed through and the tomatoes have softened beautifully.
Step 7
Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and let the flavors mingle.
Step 8
In a separate skillet, pour in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Fry each corn tortilla one at a time, letting them sizzle for about 30 seconds on each side until they’re lightly browned and slightly crispy.
Step 10
Now it’s time to assemble your delicious tacos! Spread a generous tablespoon of sour cream on each tortilla, then add about 1/4 cup of the savory squash mixture.
Step 11
Crumble 1 tablespoon of feta cheese on top for a creamy, tangy kick.
Step 12
Finally, finish with a handful of sliced romaine lettuce and a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro for that perfect burst of flavor.
Step 13
Enjoy your vibrant and tasty tacos, packed with wholesome ingredients and a delightful crunch!.
