Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups butternut squash cubed
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp taco seasoning
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
- 1/3 cup red onion diced
- 1/3 cup tomatoes diced
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 15 oz. red enchilada sauce divided
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese divided
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the butternut squash. In a small bowl, stir the garlic powder, taco seasoning, chili powder, cumin, and salt together, then pour the spice mixture over the squash and toss to combine.
- Sauté the squash until soft, 6-8 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir the rice, beans, onion, tomato, and cilantro together, then add the butternut squash and toss to combine.
- Preheat oven to 400° F and pour 1 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
- Lay a tortilla out on a flat surface, then add a heaping spoonful of the butternut squash mixture to the center, along with a tablespoon of cheese. Roll both sides of the tortilla up over the filling, then gently flip over and place it seam side down into the baking dish. Repeat this process with all 6 tortillas.
- Once finished, pour the remaining enchilada sauce overtop of the tortillas, and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake the enchiladas for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melty. Sprinkle additional cilantro overtop, and serve with diced avocado as well (optional). Enjoy!
