Squash Stuffed Corn Tortillas

This is a healthy, quick, and delicious recipe. It is a fusion of the Indian way of cooking squash with mustard seeds and curry leaves combined with the Mexican corn tortillas with avocado and lime- the best of both worlds. It combines two great cuisines to form a delectable mouthwatering recipe. It is ready within minutes and the sweetness of squash with the creaminess of the avocado pairs perfectly with the saltiness of the cheese. It is a pleasant burst of surprise to the taste buds @sarchakra
