Add a new plant-based dish to your midweek meals with these Cauliflower Butternut Squash Tacos.

Taco Tuesday is a staple in my house, so much so that even when we eat tacos on a different day of the week, my kids call it Taco Tuesday and question my understanding of a calendar. Sometimes we go with the basic variety of tacos you can find in any Tex-Mex restaurant, but it’s also fun to get creative and try new flavor combinations, especially when you can get dinner on the table start-to-finish in about 15 minutes. This is especially helpful now that I work full-time as a 3rd grade teacher, part-time as a blogger. These Cauliflower Butternut Squash Tacos can be prepared in just minutes using ingredients you can easily grab on your next trip to Publix. Did I mention they are all vegan?

Cauliflower Butternut Squash Tacos Ingredients:

• 15 ounces frozen butternut squash

• 1 T Pure Blends™ Plant-Based Butter
• 2 T taco seasoning
• 1 avocado
• 1/2 cup Saffron Road® Chickpeas
• 8 corn tortillas

 

Cauliflower Butternut Squash Tacos Directions:

This is such an easy midweek meal. Tacos are pretty much a blank canvas, and cauliflower and butternut squash are very versatile, so combine the three and you have a simple plant-based meal you can prepare in no time at all. Begin by gathering your ingredients. These can all be purchased at Publix. It’s great that they support a plant-based lifestyle.

In a large sauté pan, combine the frozen butternut squash and the Path of Life Roasted Garlic Cauliflower. Add 1/4 of a cup of water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook about 8 minutes, until the squash and cauliflower have softened. Add the tablespoon of Pure Blends plant-based butter and two tablespoons of taco seasoning. Toss to combine. Separately, dice a ripe avocado.

The cauliflower butternut squash tacos are now ready to assemble. If you want to add some extra flavor, grill your corn tortillas before adding the ingredients. Fill your tortilla with the cauliflower and butternut squash mixture. Top the mixture with avocado for added creaminess and crunchy chickpeas for an additional textural component and pop of sea salt flavor. You can try one of the other varieties to add a different flavor to your tacos.  You can even add your favorite vegan cheese or hot sauce to finish them off, but I kept things simple. The tacos are now ready to serve!
