Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 15.5-ounce can black beans, rinsed

  • 1/2 small red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup crumbled goat cheese (4 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup torn fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

  • To give these tacos a Mexican twist, substitute Cotija (a crumbly Mexican cow’s-milk cheese) for the goat cheese and cilantro for the parsley.

1.Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the squash, cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 11 to 13 minutes. Add the beans and ¼ cup water and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.

2.Top the tortillas with the squash and beans, onion, cheese, and parsley, dividing evenly. Serve with the lime wedges (if desired).
