Step 1

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss the squash with 2 tbsp oil, the spices and some seasoning, then spread on a baking tray and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Tip into a pan with the beans and heat through, stirring.

Warm the tortillas, then divide the squash mix between them. Mix the crème fraîche with the lime juice and zest, and season. Spoon a dollop onto each tortilla, then finish with onions and jalepeños.
