This healthier take on tacos involves filling a roasted butternut squash with homemade refried black beans, fresh veggies, and a magical green avocado dressing. It is just as satisfying and delicious as tortilla-bound tacos, because eating healthy should never mean sacrificing flavor! The butternut squash adds depth to the tacos because its sweet taste balances out the savory refried beans.
