Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
  • 1 medium Butternut Squash
  • to taste Salt and Pepper
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 whole Jalapeño
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 can Black Beans (Drained and rinsed)
  • 6 pieces Yellow Corn Tortillas
  • 1 cup Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Colby Jack or Mexican Blend)
  • to taste Cilantro
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive or avocado oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Allow the oil to shimmer, which usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the diced medium yellow onion, minced garlic, and finely chopped jalapeño to the skillet. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent.
  3. Stir in the cubed butternut squash along with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Increase the heat slightly and cook for approximately 10 minutes.
  4. Mix in the drained black beans and corn tortilla pieces, then pour in the red enchilada sauce and stir until well combined. Let simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and fold in about ½ cup of shredded cheese until melted, which takes around 2-3 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven’s broiler while you sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the skillet mixture. Broil for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
  7. Once broiled, remove the skillet from the oven and serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap sweet potatoes for a different flavor.
  • Can be replaced with shallots for onion.
  • Omit jalapeño for a milder dish.
  • Adjust chili powder according to your taste.
  • Use dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream or avocado.
