These tacos are loaded with roasted delicata squash, my most favorite mushrooms of all times, caramelized onions, pico de gallo, avocado and cilantro and wrapped up in my all time favorite Old El Paso Flour Tortillas - BOOM. It's the perfect meal for January as it's healthy, light, loaded with vegetables and flavor and wrapped in a flour tortilla because they are so freaking good, and who can say no to one? NOBODY!

In case you've never cooked a delicata squash, it's about to change your life. All you need to know is that you don't have to peel it. BRILLIANT. And if you've ever peeled a butternut squash, you know how awful that is. I literally almost cut my fingers off when peeling butternut squash on the regular. Not the case with Delicata - it's thin skin is easy to work with and it's absolutely delish
