My experience with enchiladas has not always been a love story. Often times when dining out and ordering enchiladas at restaurants, I was accustomed to receiving a plate piled high with cheese and sauce. (Cue instant stomach ache!)

It wasn’t until I started making them at home that I realized they could actually be super satisfying and healthy too.

Since then, this recipe is one of my families absolute favorites. I especially love it because it comes together so quickly, while helping me use up whatever leftover ingredients we have on hand. Black beans, quinoa, rotisserie chicken, tofu, the possibilities are truly endless.

I highly recommend using a good quality enchilada sauce when making these. My favorite is this one that can be found on Amazon, or at your local Whole Foods.

If you are needing something new to add into your dinner rotation, look no further. I just know that you and your family will love these Butternut Squash and Black Enchiladas!

Notes

I highly recommend using a good quality enchilada sauce for these! My favorite is this one that can be found on Amazon, or at your local Whole Foods.

Flour tortillas can be subbed for corn.

As noted in the recipe, frozen or canned butternut squash works fine, it just wont be quite as flavorful as if you pre-roast it.
