The spicy butternut squash wraps with pumpkin seed sauce have just the right amount of each flavor and texture. The roasted butternut squash gives it a sweet and spicy kick, and the creamy pumpkin seed sauce makes it taste rich and nutty. With its fresh greens and tangy Greek yogurt, this wrap is a filling and healthy meal choice.
Ingredients: 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into thin strips. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 teaspoon chili powder. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds. 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves. 4 large whole wheat tortillas. 1/2 cup Greek yogurt. 2 tablespoons lime juice. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon honey. 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin. 1/4 teaspoon paprika. 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional. 1 cup baby spinach leaves. 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced.
Instructions: Start by heating the oven to 400F 200C. Add the butternut squash strips to a large bowl and mix them with the chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Do this until the squash strips are well covered. Spread the butternut squash out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Season it and roast it for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring it once halfway through, until it's soft and slightly crispy. Spice up the pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until they begin to pop and turn golden brown. Do this while the squash roasts. Take them off the heat and set them aside. Put the toasted pumpkin seeds, cilantro, Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, honey, ground cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes if you want in a blender or food processor. Mix the ingredients together until the sauce is smooth. If you need to, add water to thin it out. Add pepper and salt to taste. Put the wraps together once the butternut squash is ready. You can warm the whole wheat tortillas up for a short time in the oven or on a skillet. On each tortilla, put a large spoonful of the pumpkin seed sauce. Put the sliced red onion, baby spinach leaves, and roasted butternut squash strips on top. Make a wrap by folding the tortilla's sides in and rolling it up tight. You can dip your spicy butternut squash wraps in extra sauce that you can find on the side. Have fun with your tasty and healthy butternut squash wraps.
