Spicy Pumpkin Tacos Recipe

Today’s Special: Spicy Pumpkin Tacos

Hello, lovely readers! Today, I’m excited to share a delicious and unique recipe for Spicy Pumpkin Tacos. As we’re approaching the fall season, I wanted to create a dish that celebrates the flavors of autumn in a fun and unexpected way. These tacos are perfect for a cozy night in or a festive gathering with friends.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 450g diced pumpkin
• 250g canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 200g frozen corn, thawed
• 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

You will also need the following kitchen tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• frying pan
• chef’s knife
• cutting board

To start, preheat your oven to 200°C. Place the diced pumpkin on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with taco seasoning, and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the pumpkin is tender and slightly caramelized.

In a frying pan, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the black beans, corn, and minced chipotle peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and well combined.

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until they are soft and pliable. Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the pumpkin mixture and top with avocado slices, a squeeze of lime juice, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Finally, serve the Spicy Pumpkin Tacos with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing. These tacos are best enjoyed fresh and hot, so dig in and savor the unique blend of flavors with every bite.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 900g, with 8 servings and an average weight of 112.5g per serving. Each serving contains approximately 250 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a dash of cinnamon to the pumpkin before roasting for a warm and cozy flavor that pairs perfectly with the spicy chipotle peppers.

I hope you enjoy making these Spicy Pumpkin Tacos as much as I did! Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking and make this dish your own. Happy cooking!
