Greetings fellow food lovers. Are you looking for the perfect, easy, quick and healthy weeknight dinner? Then look no more ‘cause I got you covered with this yummy meal. As I have mentioned before with the hubby living in the capital 5 days a week I have to do everything myself. It’s only in the past few months that I realized what my other part did in our little household. Since he worked from home he was doing the laundry, going to the market, sorting out the dishwasher, and many other small little tasks I have to do myself now. Hence all the quick and easy dinners I am posting lately. It is either dinners like this or batch cooked meals. No point in cooking one portion right? Though I made these tostadas all for myself, I roasted a full tray of veggies to add to my lunch salad over the coming days. ### New Kitchen Supervisor ------- For a few weeks now Ryuk has taken and interest in my cooking… So she promoted herself to the new kitchen supervisor. Though I kinda have a kitchen going on in the house, I almost always use the outdoor kitchen because it so much more fun and the climate is great for it. So why not? Doing so, I don’t have to give up my nature-garden time while cooking. I can still spot all the birds, squirrels, snakes, cats, and other jungly critters…. But let me introduce you to my new supervisor before we start cooking.

I couldn't help myself so I am sharing 3 pics of my cute new kitchen aid. She deserves the spotlight. I love her so much. # SPICY BUTTERNUT SQUASH & BLACK BEAN TOSTADAS WITH PARSLEY AVO SAUCE ------ Being short in time and wanting to take some pictures for you guys too I don’t always remember to write down exact measurements but this recipe is so flexible I am sure you will come up with something as good! ### This is my entry to the [Qurator's Tasty Tuesday #100](https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-s-tasty-tuesday-100-or-100-upvote-to-1st-place-winner).

## INGREDIENTS (serves 2-4) ------- For the tostadas, I used small wraps. I bought these in the supermarket but next time when I have some more time I am going to experiment with chickpea flour to make my own. ### For the roasted veggies ------ 1.5 cup black beans Half a butternut, chopped One big purple sweet potato, chopped Half a head of cauliflower, small florets

### For the salad greens ------- Arugula Red cabbage, shredded

### For the avo sauce ------- 1 avocado 1 to 2 handfuls of fresh parsley Splash of lime juice 1 clove of garlic Himalayan pink salt and black pepper to taste

### Herb mix ------- Ground cumin Ground turmeric Ground mustard seeds (I used pestle and mortar for this) Chili powder

## DIRECTIONS ------- Preheat oven to about 200C or 400F. Add sweet potato, cauliflower, and butternut to a mixing bowl. Drizzle with oil and add herbs mix and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 30 to 45 minutes or until all the veggies are soft and slightly browned. This will depend on how big you cut the veggies.

In the same bowl you used for the veggies, add black beans, herb mix, and some salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Since they need a little less roasting time add them after 15 to 20 minutes. Roast until crispy.

Meanwhile, add all avo sauce ingredients to a blender and process until a smooth paste. Set Aside in the fridge. When the veggies are ready, heat the wraps in a dry pan until browned. Flip and repeat until they are crispy.

Top tostada with arugula, red cabbage, roasted veggies, and the avo sauce.

Enjoy! # WISHING YOU ALL A WONDERFUL DAY ღ ღ ღ ------
