Time 40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and chopped into small cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 pound fresh spinach
10 corn tortillas
2 tablespoons chipotle-lime crema, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Toss butternut squash with olive oil, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread evenly over a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender and just starting to brown at the edges, 25 to 35 minutes.
  • While squash is baking, empty beans into a small pot over low heat. Add garlic and cumin; stir well and continue to warm for a few minutes until heated through. Turn off heat, cover, and set aside.
  • Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of water in a large skillet over medium heat. Add as much spinach as can fit. Sprinkle with salt, stir, and cook until spinach starts to wilt. Add additional spinach as it cooks down and makes more room. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all spinach is wilted, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Top tortillas with the squash, beans, and spinach. Drizzle crema over tostadas.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tostadas turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the butternut squash.

I made these tostadas for my friends and they raved about them. They said they were the best tostadas they'd ever had.

These tostadas were a little too spicy for me. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but I really enjoyed these tostadas. The squash was roasted perfectly and the avocado crema was a great addition.

I love the combination of flavors in these tostadas. The butternut squash is sweet and savory, the black beans add a bit of heartiness, and the avocado crema is creamy and tangy.

The butternut squash and black beans were a little bland for my taste. I added some chili powder and cumin to the squash before roasting, and that helped a lot.
