Chef Tatiana will show us how to make delicious vegetarian tacos using delicata squash as the main ingredient. Delicata squashes are currently in season during the fall season and are good sources of fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C. To balance our tacos with a source of fat and protein, Chef Tatiana adds goat cheese and black beans. These ingredients will add great flavor to the tacos while keeping you full. Top off your taco with fresh cilantro and lime juice for a fresh burst of flavor.
