I stumbled upon this recipe in Kristin McGee's recent Substack newsletter, and with the Fall Equinox this past Sunday, I thought it is time now for a healthful squash recipe.   Butternut Squash Tacos Ingredients 1/2  Butternut Squash (cut into small cubes) 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil (*may substitute for Olive Oil) 1 teaspoon Cumin 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper 1 teaspoon Chili Powder 1 teaspoon Black Pepper 1/2 cup Water (4) Tortillas of choice (*Organic Corn or Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Whole Grain  recommended) Cilantro, to taste (finely chopped) Avocado, to taste (sliced) 1 cup Black Beans Sour Cream (*optional) (*may substitute for Cashew Yogurt for a vegan alternative) Salsa, to taste Lime Wedges (amount as desired) Directions In a pan over medium heat, add the avocado oil, butternut squash cubes, and seasonings. Mix thoroughly (3 - 5 minutes). Add 1/2 cup of water (or as needed and place a lid on top. Simmer for fifteen (15) minutes until cooked through. Heat the black beans in a saucepan. Slice the avocado and and chop the cilantro. Warm the tortillas on a skillet. Remove the butternut squash mixture from the stove and evenly distribute it amongst the tortillas. Add 1/4 cup of black beans to each tortilla. Sprinkle on the toppings. Yields: 2 servings (*double the ingredients for 4 servings)   What additional or alternative toppings can you think of?
