Although I followed the directions, cubing the squash and pan frying it on high for over 10 minutes I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure it was undercooked. This week I decided I would try a totally different recipe with butternut squash which was really the merging of four different online recipes. Each called for the squash and regardless of the fact each said to prepare it like I had last week, I decided to boil it first, then pan fry it with salt, pepper and chili powder.<\/p>\n<p>This was the trick! Soft, sweet and delicious squash!<\/p>\n<p>I added black beans, red onion and a fresh jalape\u00c3\u00b1o and fried that a bit more. Put it all on a tortilla and fried that. I added fresh avocado slices to one and it tasted delicious, but that just made everything slide out of the tortilla.\u00c2\u00a0Served with Tofutti Sour Cream and green olive salsa.<\/p>\n<p>Next time I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to use some refried beans on one tortilla and smashed guacamole on the other in hopes it will stay together better.<\/p>\n<p>It was delicious nonetheless!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/P1153566.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-365\" alt=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/P1153566.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/P1153566.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/P1153566-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Or what I call \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Adventures in Cooking\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Last week I tried a recipe with butternut squash for the first time.
