Ingredients
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
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Toss butternut squash, onion, garlic, and olive oil together on a baking sheet; season with chipotle powder and salt.
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).
Gently stir black beans and goat cheese into squash mixture to avoid breaking up goat cheese.
Coat a 10×6-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup enchilada sauce over bottom of the dish.
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.
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 25 minutes.
