Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Roasted Butternut Squash Tacos.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, toss together the cubed butternut squash with a tablespoon of vegetable oil, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and minced garlic until every piece is beautifully coated.
Step 3
Spread this vibrant mixture evenly across a baking sheet and let it roast in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized.
Step 4
Once done, take it out and let it rest.
Step 5
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the drained black beans with cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Warm this blend over medium-low heat for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to harmonize.
Step 7
In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Add the chopped yellow onion and red bell pepper, sautéing them until they soften and become fragrant, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 9
In a separate skillet, warm two tortillas over medium heat for about a minute on each side, or until they are heated through.
Step 10
Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
Step 11
Now, it’s time to assemble your delicious tacos.
Step 12
On each tortilla, generously layer the roasted butternut squash, the savory black bean mixture, and the sautéed onion and red pepper medley.
Step 13
Finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and a zesty squeeze of lime juice for that perfect burst of flavor.
Step 14
Enjoy your culinary creation!.
