A vibrant and healthy taco recipe featuring honey-roasted butternut squash, charred Brussels sprouts, and a smoky chipotle lime crema.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings (8 tacos) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp maple syrup
8 small corn tortillas
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 lime, juiced
1/2 tsp chipotle powder
1/4 cup toasted pepitas
Fresh cilantro and pickled red onions for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Step 3: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the sprouts are charred.
Step 4: While the vegetables roast, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, and chipotle powder in a small bowl to create the crema.
Step 5: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or over an open flame until pliable and slightly charred.
Step 6: Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with the roasted vegetable mixture, drizzling with crema, and topping with pepitas, cilantro, and pickled onions.

Notes

Ensure you don't over-roast the squash or it will become mushy; you want it to hold its shape.
