Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and cook until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in the squash, garlic, chipotle chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the squash is softened but still has a bit of chew, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste a few pieces of the squash to make sure it's the right texture overall. Stir in the beans, cooking just to warm through, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.
- Spread a thin layer of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Fill the tortillas with a heaping 1/2 cup of the squash and bean filling, roll snugly, then arrange side by side in the dish, seam-side down. Pour the remaining sauce over the top, then sprinkle the top with cheese.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Let cool slightly, then serve with desired toppings.

Very yummy! I grew up making these with my mom and sisters, and everyone I knew loved them! They're easy to make and incredibly tempting! Add chicken or cilantro if you like. I suggest pairing it with easy-to-make boxed Mexican rice.

Tips:
- To make the perfect enchilada sauce, start by sautéing some onions and garlic in a pan. Then, add in your favorite spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and oregano. You can also add some chopped tomatoes or tomato sauce for extra flavor.
- Using a variety of beans and lentils will give your enchiladas a more complex flavor and texture. Black beans, pinto beans, and lentils are all good options.
- Don't overfill your enchiladas, or they will be difficult to roll up and will fall apart when you bake them.
- For a vegetarian version of these enchiladas, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- If you don't have any enchilada sauce on hand, you can use your favorite store-bought sauce. Just be sure to add some spices to give it a more homemade flavor.
