Recipe Summary Butternut Squash Tacos

Butternut squash makes for a great taco filling, whether you're eating clean or meat-free. A little garlic and some red pepper flakes make the flavors pop.

Ingredients | Whole Butternut Squash Calories

½ butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 pinch salt

1 yellow onion, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

8 (6 inch) flour tortillas

½ cup chopped green onions

½ cup chopped cilantro

1 lime, sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Combine cubed squash, 1 tablespoon oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a large bowl; mix to coat. Spread out on a baking sheet.

Roast in the preheated oven until squash is tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven.

Combine black beans, cumin, chili powder, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and red bell pepper; cook and stir until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place 2 tortillas in the skillet and cook until heated through, about 1 minute per side. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Top tortillas with baked squash, black beans, and onion-red pepper mixture. Garnish with green onions, cilantro, and lime.

Prepare 1 box Mexican or Spanish rice according to directions on the box, and add to the onion and red bell pepper mixture in step 5 if desired. Alternatively, flavor fresh rice with lime and cilantro and use that to top tacos instead.
