Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small red onion (diced)
3 1/2 cups (1/2-inch-cubed) butternut squash (about 1 small, 1 1/2-pound squash)
3 cloves garlic (minced (about 1 tablespoon))
1 1/2 teaspoons ground chipotle chili powder (reduce to 1 or 1/2 teaspoon if sensitive to spice)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (15-ounce) can low sodium black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
3/4 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar (Monterey jack, pepper jack, or similar cheese)
6 taco-sized (about 8-inch whole wheat low-carb tortillas (I used La Banderita brand))
Optional

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.
