Equipment

  • Outdoor BBQ Grill

Ingredients

For the grilled pork:

For the butternut squash:

For the avocado sour cream:

Instructions

  • Bring pork loin to room temperature. Mix together the taco seasoning and paprika and rub them all over the pork loin. Grill over medium heat until the center is barely cooked but still tender. Let it sit for a few minutes off the grill, then sliced it into bite-size pieces.
  • In a large fry pan, melt the butter over medium heat and stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Then add the butternut squash and toss to coat. When the squash begins to soften, add the drained and rinsed black beans. Cook together until squash is fork tender.
  • Remove the avocado from the pit and shell into a medium size bowl. Add sour cream and lime juice. Blend with a hand mixer until creamy.

To serve:

  • Take a flour tortilla and top with a line down the center of butternut squash and black beans, then add pieces of the grilled pork loin. Top that with crumbled cojita cheese, mango salsa, and avocado sour cream. Fold the tortilla over the fillings.
