Happy Taco Tuesday! My husband commented that I hadn’t made our favorite Black Bean Veggie tacos in a while, so dinner was set… but I decided to add some spiced and roasted winter squash to give it a Fall spin.

The basics are diced carrots, peppers, mushrooms, yellow squash and black beans sautéed with Mexican spices.  Separately I roasted some butternut squash with cumin and paprika.  Together it was YUMM!

This mix is a simple, longtime favorite of ours that can be made ahead and works equally well in a quesadilla, burrito or taco.  It always makes a large quantity which is great for leftovers too.

    • Let simmer on medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring periodically, until tender. (Veggie mix can be made ahead and warmed up when ready to eat).

    Spiced Butternut Squash

    • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl mix oil, cumin, paprika, and sea salt. Add Butternut Squash and toss to combine and cover each squash with the oil seasoning mixture.
    • Arrange butternut squash in single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes. Turn squash over. Bake an additional 15 minutes or until tender. For more crispy squash, bake a bit longer. Set aside.

    • Enjoy as is open-faced or heat a second tortilla and top it for a classic quesadilla.
