Spicy Butternut Squash Wrap with Pumpkin Seed Sauce



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
