Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Delicata Squash, halved, seeded, and sliced into 3/4″ slices
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin, divided
  • 1 tsp ground Coriander, divided
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 can Black Beans, do not drain
  • 1 Tbsp Lime Juice
  • 68 Whole Wheat Fajita sized Tortillas, I use CarbSmart from Mission
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Cojita Cheese, or crumbled goat cheese
  • Cilantro, minced
  • Shallots, thinly sliced (or red onion)
  • Extra Limes
  • Sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Cut the delicata squash in half, lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut the squash into 1/2-3/4″ thick slices that resemble half moons.
  3. Place it on a foil or silicone mat lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander, salt and pepper. Toss the squash so they are coated with oil and seasoning.
  4. Bake until soft and tender, about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. In a small saucepan, add in the means, the other half of the cumin, coriander, and lime juice. Cover and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  6. To assemble the tacos, add a few pieces of roasted squash and scoops of black beans to the tacos. Top with minced cilantro, shallots, sour cream, Cojita cheese crumbles, and spritz with lime juice.
