Preparation
Make the filling
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the squash and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until partially cooked. Add the beef; season with the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until the squash is tender and the beef* is cooked through.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, separate the lettuce leaves. Halve the radishes lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise. Juice the lime.
Make the slaw
In a large bowl, whisk the sour cream, lime juice and 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions). Add the cabbage, radishes, ½ the pepitas and S&P; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the lettuce leaves between your plates. Top with the filling and slaw. Garnish with the remaining pepitas. Bon appétit!
