This is a great midweek meal to have up your sleeve. Take everything to the table and let the family dive in and build their own tacos.

Serves 4 Prep 10 mins Cook 35 mins

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp The Groovy Food Company Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
• 650g butternut squash or pumpkin, peeled, deseeded and cut into 2cm chunks
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
• 1 x 400g tin black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 tsp The Groovy Food Company Organic Agave Nectar, Light Amber & Mild

For the guacamole

• 2 ripe avocados
• 150g frozen peas, defrosted
• ½ (half) small bunch mint, leaves roughly chopped

• Zest 1 lime and juice ½ (half)

To serve

• 100g Feta, roughly crumbled
• 2 baby gem lettuces, shredded

Method:

1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spoon the coconut oil into a large roasting tray and heat in the oven.

3. Wrap the tortillas in foil and pop in the oven with the squash for the last 5 mins, to heat through.
