Ingredients

SERVINGS: 4 Serving(s)
  • 1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1½ teaspoon cumin, divided
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for the peppers and onions
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ teaspoon garlic, granulated
  • ½ teaspoon celery seed
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup Jasmine rice
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed well
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 1 orange pepper, diced
  • Soft tortillas
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • ½ cup sour cream (optional)
  • Chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Sliced or chopped green chiles (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Peel and cube the butternut squash, removing all seeds

Lightly oil and sprinkle the cubed squash with sea salt and ½ teaspoon chili powder and ½ teaspoon of cumin. Mix to ensure even distribution.

Put on a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes (I do this in my toaster oven).

In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, water, celery seed, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon chili powder, garlic and salt and bring to a boil.

Add 1 cup of Jasmine rice, stir and cover.

Cook on medium for approximately 15 minutes (or the time the rice directions instruct), gently folding over every 5 minutes.

With 5 minutes remaining on the cook time, stir the black beans into the rice and cover.

Sauté the diced onion and peppers in a pan over medium high heat with a touch of olive oil, sea salt, and ½ teaspoon of cumin until lightly browned and add 2 tablespoons water to create a small amount of “broth” and set aside.

Plate a tortilla and place ½ cup of the rice and bean mixture, add a layer of roasted butternut squash, a smattering of the onions and peppers, a drizzle of the “broth”, and cheese or sour cream, if desired.

Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and green chiles, if desired. Fold and enjoy!
