Black Bean and Squash Tacos
NSTRUCTIONS
1 Make the squash salad
Combine butternut squash, 2 tsp olive oil, just ¼ tsp chipotle morita powder, lime juice, sherry vinegar, sliced shallot, pumpkin seeds, and a pinch of salt and pepper in large bowl and toss. (4-serving meal: use 4 tsp olive oil, ½ tsp chipotle morita). TIP: Add more chipotle morita powder if you prefer more spice.
2 Make the lime ranch
Whisk together ranch, lime zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl.
3 Cook the beans
Heat 1½ tsp olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced shallot and garlic and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add black beans, just 2 tsp Alamo blend chili seasoning, ½ cup water, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use back of spoon to mash beans until few whole beans remain (they do not need to be smooth). (4-serving meal: use 1 tbsp olive oil, 4 tsp Alamo blend chili seasoning, 1 cup water). TIP: Add more Alamo blend chili seasoning if you prefer more spice.
4 Serve
Wrap tortillas in clean dish towel and warm in microwave for 15 to 30 seconds to soften. Divide black beans between tortillas and top with chipotle squash salad and lime ranch. Serve any remaining salad and ranch on side. ¡Buen apetito! TIP: You can also wrap tortillas in foil and place in a 400°F oven until heated through, 5 to 6 minutes.

INSTRUCTIONS
1 Make the crispy chickpeas
Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine chickpeas, 1 tbsp olive oil, sesame seeds, ¼ tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper on baking sheet and toss. Roast until browned and crispy in places, 14 to 16 minutes. Set aside. (4-servings: use 2 tbsp olive oil)
2 Cook the soup
Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in large pot over medium heat. Add carrots, onion, and ½ tsp salt and cook until beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in broth concentrate and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until carrots are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. (4-servings: use ¼ cup olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 5 cups water) (TIP: For 4-serving meal, increase cook time by about 3 minutes.)
3 Make the ginger-apricot chutney
Stir together apricot preserves, candied ginger, 1 tbsp warm water, and a pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl. Set aside. (4-servings: use 2 tbsp water)
4 Blend the soup
Carefully transfer soup to blender and add tahini, miso, lemon juice, and sesame oil. Purée until very smooth, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt. (TIPS: Vent blender (by removing plastic center of lid) and begin blending on low and finish on high to avoid splashing. For 4-serving meal, blend in batches.)
5 Serve
Divide sesame carrot soup between bowls. Top with ginger-apricot chutney, crispy chickpeas, and parsley. Soup's on!
