Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small tortillas (corn or flour)
  • ½ cup shredded cabbage (red or green)
  • ½ cup diced avocado
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • (Optional) thinly sliced red onion

For the yogurt sauce

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • A pinch of salt

 

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the butternut squash cubes on a baking sheet and toss them with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes, until golden and tender. 

Meanwhile, mix all the yogurt sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or directly over the stove flame for a few seconds on each side. 

To assemble the tacos, place a base of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, add the roasted butternut squash, avocado, red onion, and cilantro. Finish with a drizzle of the lime yogurt sauce on top.

Fresh Tip: Pair them with a cold kombucha or a ginger lemonade — it’s a light, nutritious dish full of fall color!
