Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small sugar pumpkin (about 2 cups cubed)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tsp taco seasoning
  • 8 corn or flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the pumpkin in half, remove seeds, and cube it. Toss cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine roasted pumpkin cubes with black beans and taco seasoning. Add a splash of water and stir until heated through (about 5 minutes).
  5. Warm tortillas in a pan or directly on an open flame for about 1 minute per side.
  6. Assemble tacos by spooning the filling onto each tortilla, topping with cilantro and squeezing lime juice over them.
  7. Serve immediately with salsa or guacamole if desired.

Notes

  • Choose a sugar pumpkin for sweetness.
  • Rinse black beans well to reduce sodium.
  • Use corn tortillas for authenticity or flour ones for softness.
  • Freshly squeezed lime juice enhances flavors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Reheat gently on a skillet.
