I really liked the idea of these tacos but they were a little bland if made as instructed: I actually thought that the section for prepping the black beans was omitted in error until I read that they were to be used rinsed and drained but otherwise straight from the can. Unseasoned black beans=flavourless black beans. The seasoning on the cooked squash was good but not enough.
To make this dish delicious, I added extra seasoning to the squash (I used roasted butternut) making sure to use some chipotle chili powder since this spice was the only source of heat, and added sautéed onion and garlic and more of the same seasonings (cumin, coriander) to the beans. I found the overall flavour a bit too sweet for my taste so added this fresh salsa to shift the balance towards the savoury side.
I would give my version 4 stars.
