Black Bean and Butternut Squash Enchiladas
3 cups Butternut Squash, diced
1 white onion, diced
1 jalapeno, diced small, ribs and seeds removed
½ cup chopped cilantro
4 garlic cloves, diced
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp oil
1-2 tbsp cumin
1-2 tbsp chili powder
¼ cup water
Enchilada sauce of choice
- Saute onions and jalapeno in oil until onion is translucent and soft.
- Add cumin and chili powder (amounts depending on personal preference). You want to “saute” the spices to wake them up and bloom them.
- Add water, Rotel, garlic, squash, black beans, and cilantro. Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring often, until squash is soft but not mushy.
- Prepare baking dish by spraying pan with oil then put small layer of enchilada sauce on bottom to prevent sticking.
- Once done, place about 1/3 cup of mixture in tortilla. Place in dish, roll side down. Cover with remaining enchilada sauce and add cheese.
- Cook for about 15-20 minutes on 400 degrees.
My family isn’t a big fan of heat so I use about half of the jalapeno. We’re also trying to cut back on fat and calories. I have switched out regular tortillas for carb sense ones and started using fat free cheese. You can’t tell the difference except in your waistline!
