Method

Prepare the Squash

  1. 1

    Roast the Squash

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the delicata squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Slice into half-moon shapes. Toss with olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.

Make the Guacamole

    Prepare Guacamole

    While the squash is roasting, prepare the guacamole. In a bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, minced garlic, and salt until smooth. Stir in chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning to taste.

    Build Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave. On each tortilla, layer roasted squash, black beans, a dollop of guacamole, and top with scallions and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
