Ingredients

Makes 4 Servings


  • 3 cups cubed peeled butternut squash (can substitute sweet potatoes)
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) taco seasoning
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1/2 c (120 mL) fresh salsa
  • 1 c (240 g) guacamole
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro chopped
  • hot sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F (191 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse squash cubes under cold water and shake off excess. Toss with taco seasoning until coated. Arrange in a single layer on pan and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until fork-tender and browning, flipping halfway.



  2. Spoon cooked squash into corn tortillas. Top with salsa, guacamole, onions, and cilantro. Drizzle with hot sauce and serve. Note: For heartier tacos, you can add refried beans or black beans. To make homemade guacamole, mash a ripe avocado and stir in lime juice, ground cumin, chopped onion, and chopped cilantro.
