Directions:

For the Squash

Preheat your oven to 425, then line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Put squash in olive oil and toss to coat.

Sprinkle with chili pepper, salt and pepper.

Arrange squash in a single layer on the pan.

Bake until squash is tender and caramelized on the edges, for 30 to 35 minutes, tossing halfway.

For the Slaw

In a bowl, combine cabbage, black beans, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and salt.

Toss, then taste and add more lime juice or salt if needed, then set aside to marinate.

For the Guacamole

In a bowl, combine avocado, lime juice, coriander and salt.

Mash until blended, a little creamy, and partly chunky, then taste, add more seasonings if wanted.

For the Tortillas

In a small frypan heat each tortilla on both sides, then put on a plate and cover with a tea towel to keep warm.

Repeat with each tortilla, stacking each one on the last.

To Make Tacos
