Pumpkin Tacos

Pumpkin tacos are a unique and flavorful twist on traditional tacos with plenty of vegetables. Roasted pumpkin cubes are cooked with vegetables, onions, and chili powder to create a hearty, lightly spiced filling. These tacos are served in warm tortillas and are perfect for a quick, satisfying meal with a seasonal touch.

Ingredients (serve 4):

• 2 cups pumpkin, peeled and cubed
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• 8 small tortillas, warmed
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: avocado slices, red cabbage, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, or salsa

Instructions:

1. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft.
2. Add the cubed pumpkin, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until the pumpkin is tender.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Arrange the pumpkin mixture in warm tortillas and garnish with avocado, cilantro, or a squeeze of lime if desired.

Enjoy!
