Sriracha Marinated Butternut Squash and Black Bean Tacos

Just incase you didn’t get enough inspiration from yesterday’s bean extravaganza post, I wanted to give you one more recipe to add to your ever growing recipe list: these tacos. I posted on twitter shortly after making these tacos that I firmly believed if I ever started a new blog, I’d label “I love tacos.” These in particular pack a rather lovely spicy and garlicky punch. But with that being said, yes, these tacos are spicy: eat with care!

    Erin, these sound fantastic! I’ve been consuming so much Sriracha lately to the point that I don’t find it all that spicy anymore. Love the simple combo with the goat cheese.

    My husband and i decided to go vegetarian for our health and our little boys health. Thank goodness i stumbled across your website! It is going to be so much easier now. I made these last night. I doubled the recipe so that we would have leftovers. Well, we ate it all! So so so delicious! Im making the zucchini paella tonight!

  • Sara

    Loved this, will be making again! I even liked the vegan version (just because I didn’t have appropriate cheese). One note: I had to bake the squash for a lot longer than in this recipe, more like 50 minutes before it was cooked to my liking.
