Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and quartered lengthwise

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

  • ½ (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

  • 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • 1 (4 ounce) package feta cheese

  • 1 head romaine lettuce, sliced

  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Directions

  1. Cut butternut squash into spirals using a spiralizer fitted with the large shredding blade.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute squash until slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Add taco seasoning; stir. Add black beans and tomatoes; cook and stir until beans are hot and tomatoes are soft, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry 1 tortilla at a time until lightly browned, about 30 seconds per side.

  4. Place 1 tablespoon sour cream on each tortilla; add about 1/4 cup squash mixture and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon feta cheese. Top with lettuce and cilantro.
