Préparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Toss the butternut squash with olive oil, paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, coriander, optional cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Spread in one layer on a baking tray.
Step 3
Roast for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and caramelized around the edges.
Step 4
Warm the creamy black beans or refried beans over medium-low heat. Add a splash of water or vegetable broth if they become too thick.
Step 5
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet until soft and lightly toasted.
Step 6
Spread beans on each tortilla and top with roasted squash, avocado, lettuce, jalapeños, and cilantro. Finish with hot sauce and optional lime wedges.
