Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 3 Cups Peeled Butternut Squash 1/2 Inch Diced
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion Diced
  • 3 Cloves of Garlic Minced
  • 1/2 Jalapeno, Seeded and Diced
  • 1 Teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 - 15 Ounce Can Black Beans Rinsed and Drained
  • 8 Yellow Corn Tortillas Cut into Thick Strips
  • 1-15 Ounce Can Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 Cup Reduced-Fat Colby Jack or Mexican Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in large oven-proof skillet. Add onions, garlic, and jalapeno and cook 2-3 minutes until onions become translucent and garlic is fragrant.
  • Add cubed squash, cumin and chili powder and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is slightly tender, 10-13 minutes. You want the squash to be fork tender, but not so tender that it starts to fall apart and become mush.
  • Next add the black beans, corn tortilla pieces, and can of enchilada sauce and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and sprinkle in 1/2 cup of cheese. Stir again and simmer for a few minutes.
  • Turn on your oven broiler to high. Sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup of cheese over the top of the enchilada mixture and place in oven under broiler for 3-5 minutes until cheese melts and tortilla edges become a tiny golden brown.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately. Feel free to add in cilantro. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce! Enjoy!
