Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 large winter squash, peeled and cubed
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried chipotle powder (available at Mother Nature's)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup fresh corn, cut from the cob or 1 cup frozen corn
1/2-1 cup feta or 1/2-1 cup goat cheese
12 corn tortillas, depending on how much you stuff them
1 (19 ounce) can green enchilada sauce, whatever heat you like
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, grated (really! Grate your garlic cloves, its great!)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
1 (15 ounce) can of cooked black beans
1/2 cup nonfat sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Toss cubed squash in 2 tablespoons of oil, cumin and chili powder. Bake until tender, about 30 minutes. After squash has cooled a bit, squish it with a potato masher.
  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 3 minutes. Mix in squash mixture and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tortilla at a time on a non-stick skillet about 10 seconds aside, then place 1 heaping tablespoon squash mixture down center of each tortilla. Top with about 2 teaspoons of cheese. Roll up tortillas. Arrange seam side down in a glass baking dish. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead; covered and chilled.) Pour enchilada sauce over enchiladas and bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until the enchiladas are heated through and bubbly. While they bake, prepare the Black Bean Sauce.
  • Black Bean Sauce.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the cumin, paprika, and chili powder and sauté for 1 minute. Add the beans and sour cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Transfer 1 cup of the bean mixture to a blender and purée until smooth. Return the pureed beans back into the skillet, then simmer for 2 minutes until heated through. If the sauce becomes too thick, thin with water.
  • Make a tropical salsa to go with it.

I'm not a huge fan of squash, but I really enjoyed these enchiladas. The black bean sauce was so flavorful that it made me forget all about the squash.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover squash. I had some butternut squash that was starting to go bad, and this dish was the perfect way to use it up.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with a milder salsa next time.
