These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices to the filling.

The butternut squash filling was a bit too runny for my taste, but the overall flavor of the enchiladas was still good.

These enchiladas were easy to make and so delicious! I used a store-bought enchilada sauce to save time, and it worked out great.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these enchiladas. The sweetness of the squash paired perfectly with the savory enchilada sauce.

These butternut squash enchiladas were a hit with my family! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the tortillas were perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
