Nuke squash in a covered microwave-safe dish with 2 tablespoons of water for 6 to 7 minutes, until squash is tender enough to mash.
Using a fork or potato masher, mash squash to a pulp. Mix in 11/2 teaspoons taco seasoning and set aside.
Combine soy crumbles, remaining tomatoes, and 2 teaspoons taco seasoning in a heated pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Cook over a medium flame, stirring occasionally, until heated and mixed.
In a large dish, layer ingredients in this order: lettuce, butternut squash mixture, tomato/onion mix, sour cream, black beans, "meat" mixture, shredded cheese, red peppers. Devour!
