Roasted Butternut Squash Tacos

Spicy butternut squash makes such a great base for these vegetarian tacos. I’m always looking for quick and nutritious weeknight dinners for my family. These fit the bill and are so delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 medium butternut squash (3 to 4 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 12 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
  • 1 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • pico de gallo, optional

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Combine first 6 ingredients. Add squash pieces; toss to coat. Transfer to a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake, stirring occasionally, until tender, 30-35 minutes.
  • Divide squash evenly among tortillas. Top with queso fresco, avocado and red onion. If desired, serve with pico de gallo.
