Pulled Butternut Squash Tacos

Can you believe this is a thing?! These tacos are so simple to make and extremely satisfying with a sweet and smokey flavor. To add more protein I’d suggest throwing in some black beans. Sweet potato, cabbage, greens, avocado, chipotle sauce, and jalapenos tie this dish together.

Cheesy Butternut Squash Tacos with Shrimp

This was surprisingly amazing! I recommend dipping these in a salty yet sharp gravy. The sweet and subtle flavor of the butternut squash and shrimp, covered in delicious cheese and dipped in gravy is enough to make any night a good one.

Simply take a frozen bag of precut butternut squash and cook according to the package, near the last 5 minutes add in the precooked shrimp and cheese shreds. Bake until desired consistency. Add some shredded cabbage one diced white onion, and shred cilantro on your tacos and enjoy.
