Ingredients

1 large avocado, diced
1 medium butternut squash (about 2 to 2½ pounds, I used two 12-ounce bags of pre-sliced butternut from Trader Joe's), peeled and sliced into ¾-inch cubes
2 cans black beans (15 ounces each), rinsed and drained, or 3 cups cooked black beans
1 teaspoon chili powder
Optional garnishes: additional chopped cilantro, hot sauce, toasted pepitas, crumbled feta cheese (omit for vegan tacos)
8 corn tortillas (certified gluten free if necessary)
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup chopped green onions, both green and white parts
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups purple cabbage, thinly sliced and roughly chopped into 2-inch long pieces
¼ teaspoon salt, more to taste
Pinch of salt, more to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 01

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line one large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.To roast the squash: On your prepared baking sheet, toss the cubed butternut in enough olive oil to lightly coat all sides, about 2 tablespoons.

  2. 02

    Sprinkle with salt and pepper and arrange the butternut in a single layer.

  3. 03

    Bake until the butternut is tender throughout and caramelized on the edges, about 30 to 35 minutes, tossing halfway.Meanwhile, to assemble the slaw: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, black beans, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and salt. Toss to combine, then taste and add additional lime juice and/or salt if necessary. Set aside to marinate.To prepare the guacamole: In a small bowl, combine the diced avocado, lime juice, coriander and salt. Mash with a pastry cutter, potato masher or fork until the mixture is blended and no longer chunky. Taste and add additional salt if necessary.To warm the tortillas: In a small skillet over medium heat, warm each tortilla on both sides before transferring to a plate and covering with a lint-free towel to keep warm. Repeat with each tortilla, stacking each warmed tortilla on the last.To assemble the tacos, spoon an ample amount of slaw down the center of your taco, top with roasted butternut and spread a spoonful of guacamole down the side. Top with garnishes of your choice and serve immediately.

Review

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
