  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • juice of 1/2 a lime

Taco Ingredients

  • 2 TBSP olive oil or other neutral flavored oil
  • 1/2 small onion diced
  • 1 10 oz package frozen Butternut Squash Rice such as Green Giant
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 15 oz cans of black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1.5 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 24 count package street size corn tortillas I use Mission brand (if you are doubling up on shells, then I would buy two packages)
  • 1 8.5 oz bag of Mann's Organic Super Blend Slaw
  • fresh avocado
  • fresh cilantro
  • fresh jalapeño slices
  • Salsa Verde
  • Chipotle Mayonnaise Sauce

Instructions

Make Chipotle Mayonnaise Sauce

  • Combine all of the ingredients for the mayo in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined. Refrigerate until time to serve the tacos.

Make Taco Filling

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and onion.
  • Sauté onion about 3 minutes, until they begin to soften.
  • Add in butternut squash and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
  • Add in garlic and then, continue to sauté until the squash is tender, but not mushy.
  • Add black beans to the skillet. At this point, if you think the filling is too dry, add in about a 1/4 cup of water. If you like your filling a little saucy, add more water.
  • Add chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook until beans are heated through.
  • Heat tortillas a few at a time in a cast iron skillet. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Serve with toppings: Mann’s Organic Super Blend fresh avocado, cilantro, tomatoes, salsa and Chipotle Mayonnaise Sauce.
