Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine butternut squash, achiote powder, ancho chile powder, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, thyme, cumin, salt, black pepper, cayenne, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, and olive oil. Mix well until the squash is evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned butternut squash in a single layer on one of the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake the butternut squash for 45 minutes at 350°F (180°C), while tossing it halfway through, until it is deepened in color and the spices have darkened.
- In the same bowl, toss the pineapple in the remaining marinade until well coated.
- Spread the pineapple in an even layer on the other prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the pineapple for 25-30 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until it is softened and slightly shrunken.
- On the same baking sheet, toss the roasted butternut squash with the remaining olive oil.
- Warm the tortillas directly over a medium flame on a stovetop burner until they are charred on the edges and pliable. Alternatively, microwave the tortillas until warmed through.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon butternut squash and pineapple onto each tortilla. Then, top with onion, cilantro, and avocado.
- Serve the tacos with lime wedges and enjoy!
