1. Can I use frozen butternut squash?

Yes! Thaw and pat dry before roasting to prevent sogginess.

2. What’s the best tortilla for this recipe?

Corn tortillas add authentic flavor, but whole wheat or gluten-free wraps work well too.

3. Can I meal prep these tacos?

Absolutely. Roast the squash and cook the beans ahead; assemble just before serving.

4. What toppings go well with these tacos?

Try pickled onions, pumpkin seeds, or a drizzle of avocado-lime crema for extra flair.
