These tacos are seriously delicious, even Wesley, the must-have-meat-all-the-time guy, liked them. I could tell in his voice he was surprised himself.

What’s not to like? They are full of fresh, bright flavors.

Black Bean Butternut Squash Tacos with Avocado Cream Sauce

  1. These tacos have quite a few ingredients, but none are hard to make.
  2. You can use my recipe for Easy Slow Cooker Black Beans or you can use canned black beans.
  3. Roast or saute the butternut squash. I like to roast a lot of vegetables and one time that way I have leftovers for recipes like this. If you don’t have leftover roasted butternut squash, they just take 8 to 10 minutes to saute.
  4. I keep Quick Pickled Red Onions in the fridge at all times. They really add brightness and crispness to the tacos. I don’t know if you can purchase Pickled Onions in the store, but my recipe, included below, is super easy to make.
  5. The surprise ingredient in these tacos is the Avocado Cream Sauce. I knew I wanted a creamy dressing element to these tacos. Usually, I lean to a Ranch Dressing but wanted something different. I stirred up this Avocado Cream Sauce and now I make it all the time and serve it on salads, fish tacos, and dip roasted veggies in it.

Black Bean Butternut Squash Tacos with avocado cream sauce recipe is one filling meatless main meal! Black Bean Butternut Squash Tacos with Avocado Cream Sauce recipe is crunchy, crisp, fresh, and bright!
