Spiced Butternut Goan Tacos

Ingredients:
1 butternut squash (peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces)
feta cheese
pepitas (pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds)
salsa verde (key ingredient: tomatillos)
kale, or julienned cabbage
tortillas or rotis or flaky parantha
Moroccan or Indian spices: 
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground ginger  
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon 
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp allspice 
1/4 tsp salt 
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbsp olive oil

Recipe:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
2. Whisk all spices together in a small bowl
3. Mix squash, olive oil, and spices together in a large bowl (coat evenly)
4. Roast squash in oven (try to make sure the pieces don't touch each other) for 20-30 minutes
5. As soon as the squash is done, take out of the oven and add kale to the top of the squash (to let the kale get a little loose/steamed a bit)
6. Heat tortillas on an iron skillet.  Wait until both sides are fully cooked, then assemble taco on plate.
7. Assembly: place tortilla on plate.  Add two spoonfuls of salsa verde, then a slice or two of feta. Then add spiced squash and top with kale and a few pepitas for garnish.
