Butternut and sweet potato tacos

A more veggie-centered take on tacos, this is the perfect recipe to both satisfy your taco cravings and experience new and fresh flavors. 

Ingredients:

Tacos:

  • Siete Tacos (I use these)

Guacamole:

  • ¼ large red onion (finely diced)
  • 1 garlic clove (finely minced)
  • 2 avocados 
  • Salt to taste
  • Dash of black pepper
  • The juice of ½ lime

Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash: 

  • 2 orange sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 1 butternut squash (peeled and cubed)
  • 1 tbsp coconut or avocado oil
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste

To top:

  • ½ cup of lettuce (finely chopped)

Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit 
  • Toss the sweet potato and butternut squash cubes with oil and spices
  • Put on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 25 – 30 min or until tender and caramelized (make sure to flip after 10 to 15 min)
  • Meanwhile, prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocados and adding onion, garlic, lime juice, and spices.
  • Once the squash and sweet potatoes are cooked, lower the oven temp to 325 or 350 and bake the tacos for 2 min
  • Fill the tacos with chopped lettuce, guacamole, and the squash and sweet potato cubes. Enjoy!
