09 -
2 cups Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded

11 -
Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt (optional)

12 -
1 cup Enchilada Sauce
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
02 -
While squash roasts, sauté chopped onion and garlic in a large skillet until softened (5-7 minutes). Add cumin and chili powder; cook 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
03 -
Add roasted squash to skillet with onions, garlic, and spices. Stir in black beans and enchilada sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning.
04 -
Layer half the tortillas in the skillet, slightly overlapping. Pour squash mixture over tortillas. Top with remaining tortillas and sprinkle with cheese.
05 -
Bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden brown. Watch to prevent burning.
06 -
Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional).
# Notes:
01 -
Don't overcook the squash; it should be tender but not mushy.
02 -
Leftovers are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the oven.
03 -
If you don't have enchilada sauce, use a simple tomato sauce instead—it won't be quite the same, but still tasty.
04 -
Top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and fresh cilantro for a pop of freshness!
