Spice up an early spring evening with salsa verde. This classic Mexican condiment, made with tomatillos and hot chilies, is an easy way to infuse flavour into vegetarian filling. Chickpeas and chunks of butternut squash get a quick coating before roasting. A crunchy cabbage slaw perked up with cilantro and spritzed with lime provides contrast, while a sour cream with a little more salsa verde cushions each tortilla.

Preparation
Roast the chickpeas & squash
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drain and rinse the chickpeas; pat dry with paper towel. In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, squash, a drizzle of oil, ⅔ of the salsa verde, ¾ of the spices and S&P. Arrange on a lined sheet pan and roast, stirring halfway, 14 to 16 min., until the squash is tender and the chickpeas are beginning to brown.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems. Juice the lime.
Make the slaw
In a second medium bowl, combine the cabbage, lime juice, cilantro, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Make the spicy sour cream
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, remaining salsa verde and spices, and S&P.
Warm the tortillas
Wrap the tortillas in a slightly dampened paper towel. On a plate, microwave, in 10 sec. increments, until warm.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the spicy sour cream. Top with the chickpeas, squash and a spoonful of the slaw. Serve the remaining slaw on the side. Bon appétit!
