Pumpkin Black Bean Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sauce Recipe
These satisfying tacos are a celebratory collection of plant-based whole foods, enriched with a superfood sweet and sour sauce that isn't just addicting…it's also detoxifying! Since regular pumpkin isn't super flavorful, we swapped in sweet kabocha squash, which is also known as a “Japanese Pumpkin.” If you can't find kabocha, you can also use acorn squash in its place for a taste that's just as tempting!
