Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 4 cups peeled and diced butternut squash

  • ½ onion, diced

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons chipotle powder

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • cooking spray

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 3 ounces crumbled goat cheese

  • 1 (14 ounce) can enchilada sauce

  • 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas

  • 2 ounces crumbled cotija cheese

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Toss butternut squash, onion, garlic, and olive oil together on a baking sheet; season with chipotle powder and salt.

  3. Roast in the preheated oven until squash is tender, about 25 minutes, stirring once. Set aside to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Gently stir black beans and goat cheese into squash mixture to avoid breaking up goat cheese.

  5. Coat a 10×6-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup enchilada sauce over bottom of the dish.

  6. Pour some enchilada sauce onto a small plate. Quickly dip 1 tortilla into sauce; fill with some squash-bean mixture. Roll tortilla to enclose filling; place seam-side down into the prepared casserole dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling, tucking any remaining or loose filling into exposed ends of enchiladas. Spoon remaining sauce over enchiladas; top with cotija cheese and cilantro.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 25 minutes.
