Preparation
Cook the black beans & squash
Thinly slice the scallion crosswise. Drain and rinse the black beans. In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add ½ the scallion and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the black beans, squash, ½ cup water (double for 4 portions), the spices and S&P. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 min., until the liquid has reduced by about ¾. Off the heat, mash ½.
Make the slaw
Meanwhile, halve the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise. In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, salsa verde, 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Add the cabbage, cucumbers and ½ the remaining scallion; toss well.
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. Top with the black beans and squash, a spoonful of the slaw and the sour cream. Garnish with the remaining scallion. Serve the remaining slaw on the side. Bon appétit!
