Ingredients
  

TACOS:

  • 8 authentic corn tortillas
  • ½ butternut squash about 2 cups cubed
  • drizzle extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup beet sauerkraut as an alternative, finely shredded fresh red cabbage
  • 2 small radishes sliced thin on a mandolin
  • 1 heaped cup refried black beans see notes for link to recipe or use canned beans

  • 2 avocados medium-large
  • ½ red onion finely sliced
