Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 2 1/2-by-1/2-inch sticks
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon chili powder, plus more for sprinkling
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, diced
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
Three 15-ounce cans green enchilada sauce
16 corn tortillas
3 cups grated Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese (about 12 ounces)
Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Toss the squash, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon each of chili powder and cumin, the salt and several grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing once, until browned and tender, but not falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the black beans and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of cumin and chili powder. Cook until the beans are heated through and well combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Pour the enchilada sauce into the skillet, then reduce the heat to low and warm through.
  • One at a time, hold the tortillas over a stovetop burner set on a medium heat to brown slightly, about 30 seconds per side. Set aside.
  • Pour 2 cups of the enchilada sauce into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. To assemble the enchiladas, dip a tortilla into the remaining sauce, then lay on a plate. Sprinkle some cheese down the middle, followed by some of the bean mixture and finally some of the roasted squash. Roll it up tightly, then place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. If you have any extra pieces of squash or the bean mixture, tuck them in between the enchiladas. Be sure to save a little cheese for the topping!
  • Pour the rest of the sauce over the enchiladas, then top with the remaining cheese. Add a final sprinkling of chili powder, then bake until hot and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Top with the cilantro.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 (5 inch) corn tortillas
½ unpeeled butternut squash, seeded
½ cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ onion, chopped
2 cups chopped fresh spinach
4 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup enchilada sauce
¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
¼ cup sour cream, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Lay the tortillas flat onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Meanwhile, place the butternut squash half into a microwave-safe dish cut-side-down, and pour in the water. Cook in the microwave until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and dice; place into a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Continue cooking until the spinach wilts. Gently fold the spinach mixture into the diced butternut squash.
  • Arrange four crispy tortillas on the baking sheet. Divide the squash mixture among the tortillas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of goat cheese over each tortilla, then top with the remaining tortillas. Pour the enchilada sauce over top, and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of cotija cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot, about 10 minutes. Garnish each enchilada with chopped cilantro leaves and a dollop of sour cream to serve.
