🌮🌮 Squash + tacos = SQUACOS!! 🌮🌮
My favorite fall weeknight staple when delicata squash is in season: easy to put together and absolutely delicious. Excellent with sour cream and jalapeño hot sauce but make the tacos your own with your favorite toppings.

Yield: 6 tacos
Ingredients
For the squash filling:
- 2
tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2
yellow or red onion, sliced
- 1
green bell pepper, sliced
- 1
delicata squash, cut in half long ways, seeds removed, and sliced into 1/4" wide half moons
- 2
teaspoons cumin
- 1
teaspoon chili powder
- 1
teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2
teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2
teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2
teaspoon oregano
- 1/4
teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1
teaspoon salt
To serve:
lime juice
- 6
(6 or 8 inch) flour tortillas
sour cream
hot sauce
cilantro
Instructions
Preheat
Preheat the oven to 425°.
Roast the filling
Slice the vegetables into similar sized strips. Toss all of the filling ingredients together in a bowl (this step helps make sure the spices and oil are evenly distributed compared to just mixing things on the sheet tray, despite the extra cleaning). Roast at 425° for 20-30 minutes until the squash and pepper are soft and browned, tossing once to ensure even browning.
Assemble
Warm tortillas on the stovetop or in a microwave. Assemble tacos with desired fixings and enjoy!

Notes
You can also sauté the filling on the stove top, but it might take longer depending on the size of your pan. The sheet pan roasting method helps ensure there's enough space for everything to brown.
Substitutions
Any type of bell pepper would work well in place of green pepper.
