Monday Night Dinner: Butternut Squash and Black Bean Tacos with Goat Cheese


Tacos are a favorite meal at our house.  You don't have to do much to end up with a delicious taco.  Here's a tasty vegetarian option even my meat-lovin' man will eat without complaint.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups butternut squash
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 cup black beans
  • 12 white corn tortillas
  • 6 oz Soft Goat Cheese

Directions

Mince garlic, cut squash into 1/2-inch cubes, and toss together in oil and spices.
Preheat pan on med-high heat on your stove-top.
When your pan is hot, add squash to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally until slightly browned and pieces are cooked through.
Add the black beans to the pan and stir together until warm.

While the filling is cooking, warm your tortillas on a dry griddle on med-high heat so they are ready to go.  If you're too tired, just throw them on a plate and put them in the microwave for a minute or so.

Serves 4

Spoon about 1/4 cup taco filling into each of three tortillas and top with about a half ounce of goat cheese each.


Just look at all that fiber you're getting!  It really is a delicious meal that can be whipped up in a matter of minutes.
