RECIPE TYPE: Main dish

SERVES: 4

PREP TIME: 15 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (3 cups)
  • Salt, and pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ jalapeño, seeded and diced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 can (15-oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 corn tortillas, cut into thick strips
  • 1 can (15-oz.) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, divided
  • Cilantro, sour cream, hot sauce or guacamole (optional toppings)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Wash hands. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large oven-proof skillet. Add onions, garlic, and jalapeño, and cook 2-3 minutes. Add the squash, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cook until the squash is fork-tender but not mushy, 8-10 minutes.
  2. Add the beans, tortilla strips, and enchilada sauce, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add 1/2 cup of cheese. Stir, and simmer for a few minutes.
  3. Turn on the oven broiler to High. Sprinkle another 1/2 cup of cheese over the top of the enchilada mixture, and place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot with optional toppings.
