Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the butternut squash cubes on a large baking sheet and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil. Toss until well coated. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and red pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute.
- Stir in the in the cilantro, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper. When squash is done cooking, stir in the black beans and butternut squash.
- Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- To assemble the enchiladas, Spread about 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce onto the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- Wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on high for 30-seconds and then flip and heat for 30 more seconds. OR you can briefly fry the tortillas in hot oil. This will prevent them for tearing.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling in the center of a tortilla. Add a tablespoon of enchilada sauce and a sprinkle of the shredded cheese. Roll each tortilla and place seam side down into the baking dish. Continue the process until filling is gone. It should make 12 enchiladas; but could vary depending on the size of your tortillas.
- Pour remaining sauce over the top of the filled enchiladas and then sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese, there should be about 1 cup of cheese left for the top.
- Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and enchiladas are bubbly. Remove the pan from the oven and allow enchiladas to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro, avocado, jalapeno slices, and queso fresco, if desired. Serve warm.
