Butternut Squash and Black Bean Tacos

It’s Taco Thursday!

Okay I know it’s always Taco Tuesday but why not change it up? It’s a new year right?! Do you make New Year’s Resolutions?

I do! I mean any excuse to make a list and I’m in. I remember when I was little my family would sit down and make our new year’s resolutions together. We’ post them inside one of the cabinets for us to see every time we opened it. Now a few years later I actually have some of my goals written down in my bathroom cabinet. Guess some things never change….

Things like how you like your tacos. Everyone loves their traditional beef taco or chicken taco. I mean I love some pulled pork tacos and fish tacos as much as the next person.

But let’s talk veggies. Because I promise you won’t even miss the meat with these Butternut Squash and Black Bean Tacos! The squash and beans are tossed in smoky spiced vinaigrette. And nothing is complete without some melty and tangy goat cheese. Am I right?

And with Thanksgiving and Christmas over I think it’s time to cut back on the calories…okay at least for one meal that is. So serve these at your next big fiesta or dinner next week.

Note: This recipe can be gluten free by using corn tortillas.
