Ingredients

  • 500g butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 2 whole skinned cloves of garlic
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil
  • Dash of salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp of maple syrup 
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 small handful of broccoli and spinach, chopped
  • ½ a red onion, chopped
  • 1 can of cooked chickpeas, drained
  • Dash of salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp of dried oregano 
  • 1 store-bought pizza dough
  • 1 cup butternut squash sauce
  • Sprinkling of vegan parmesan cheese

Method

1

Preheat your oven to 200oC. 

2

Place the cubed butternut squash and garlic cloves onto a baking sheet. Add a dash of olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes and leave to cool for a few minutes. 

3

Add the butternut squash and garlic to a food processor along with the maple syrup and mix together. Blend until smooth, adding a little more olive oil to loosen the mixture, if necessary. 

4

Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the broccoli, onion, and spinach. Add the chickpeas, salt, pepper, and oregano too and sauté for a couple of minutes. Put this to one side for later. 

5

Roll the pizza dough into a circle and place on a round piece of baking parchment. 

6

Spoon the prepared butternut squash sauce onto the dough, using the back of a spoon to spread it out. Top with the vegetable and chickpea mix and sprinkle with parmesan. 

7

Cook in the oven for about 15 minutes, either on a baking tray or the oven rack. Check every few minutes to prevent it burning.

8

Remove from the oven and cut into slices.

Method

1

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over a medium heat. 

2

Add the onion and jalapeño and cook for about 8 minutes, until the chillies are tender. Add the chorizo and cook for a further 5 minutes. Move the ingredients around the pan as they cook to prevent them burning.

3

Meanwhile, add the black beans to a pan of boiling water and simmer over a medium heat for about 7 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. 

4

Drain the black beans and add to the onion, jalapeño and chorizo mix. 

5

Warm the tortillas in the oven or microwave and you're ready to serve. Spoon a nice portion into your tortilla, wrap it up and enjoy!
