Black Bean And Butternut Squash Enchilada Casserole Recipes

ROASTED BUTTERNUT AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine butternut squash, onion, olive oil, and garlic on a baking sheet; toss well. Sprinkle chipotle powder and salt over the top.
• Roast in the preheated oven, stirring once, until butternut squash is tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spray a 10x6-inch casserole with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup enchilada sauce over the bottom.
• Add black beans and goat cheese to the butternut squash mixture; mix gently to keep the goat cheese in good-sized pieces.
• Pour some enchilada sauce onto a small plate. Quickly dip each tortilla into the sauce and fill with some of the squash-bean mixture. Roll up and place seam-side down in the prepared casserole dish. Tuck any remaining filling into the exposed ends of the enchiladas. Spoon remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Top with cotija cheese and cilantro.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 25 minutes.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Toss the squash, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon each of chili powder and cumin, the salt and several grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing once, until browned and tender, but not falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the black beans and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of cumin and chili powder. Cook until the beans are heated through and well combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Pour the enchilada sauce into the skillet, then reduce the heat to low and warm through.
• One at a time, hold the tortillas over a stovetop burner set on a medium heat to brown slightly, about 30 seconds per side. Set aside.
• Pour 2 cups of the enchilada sauce into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. To assemble the enchiladas, dip a tortilla into the remaining sauce, then lay on a plate. Sprinkle some cheese down the middle, followed by some of the bean mixture and finally some of the roasted squash. Roll it up tightly, then place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. If you have any extra pieces of squash or the bean mixture, tuck them in between the enchiladas. Be sure to save a little cheese for the topping!
• Pour the rest of the sauce over the enchiladas, then top with the remaining cheese. Add a final sprinkling of chili powder, then bake until hot and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Top with the cilantro.

BLACK BEAN AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pierce butternut squash flesh several times with a fork and place face-down on a greased baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Scoop squash flesh from skin.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onions are soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix cumin, coriander, and cayenne into onion mixture. Add squash, black beans, and 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese; cook and stir until heated through.
• Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce into an 11x7-inch baking dish. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce into a large dish with sides. Dip both sides of each tortilla into enchilada sauce. Fill tortillas with sweet potato mixture and roll tortilla around the filling. Place rolled tortillas, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and sweet potato mixture; top with remaining Cheddar cheese. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the oven until heated through and cheese is melted, about 40 minutes.
