Step 1
To make the butternut squash enchilada sauce: In a large pot heat
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (30 mL)
over medium.
Step 2
Once hot, add in
McCormick® Garlic Powder (2 g)
,
Ground Cumin (as needed)
,
Salt (3 g)
,
Ground Black Pepper (1 g)
and
Ground Cinnamon (as needed)
and stir for 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the
Tomato Paste (195 g)
,
Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth (600 mL)
, and
Adobo Sauce (9 g)
and whisk until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add in
Butternut Squash (140 g)
and blend with an immersion blender or in a blender. If using a blender you may need to do this in 2 batches. Use caution as the sauce will be very hot.
Step 5
Return to med-low/low and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat. It will thicken a bit as it sits.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 8
Slice
Butternut Squash (1)
lengthwise down the center and de-seed.
Step 9
Lay each half on its flat side then cut 1/4-inch slices and then into 1/4-inch cubes.
Step 10
Place on the pan and toss with
Sunflower Oil (15 mL)
and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Roast for about 35 minutes, tossing once or twice while cooking. Done when tender but not mushy.
Step 11
Towards the end of the squash cooking, heat a large pan over medium, and add
Sunflower Oil (15 mL)
.
Step 12
Add in the
Onion (1)
and cook, stirring for 5-8 minutes until softened.
Step 13
Add in
Garlic (4 g)
,
Mild Chili Powder (4 g)
,
Ground Cumin (2 g)
,
Ground Oregano (as needed)
,
Ground Coriander (as needed)
,
Salt (as needed)
,
Ground Black Pepper (as needed)
,
Cayenne Pepper (as needed)
, and stir for 1 minute.
Step 14
Stir in the
Vegetable Broth (30 mL)
, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen everything.
Step 15
Add in
Black Beans (1 can)
and 3 cups of the cooked and cubed butternut squash.
Step 16
Stir a few times until everything the beans are heated through, then remove from the heat.
Step 17
Preheat your oven to broil on low.
Step 18
Place
6-Inch Corn Tortillas (14)
on a baking sheet in a single layer and broil with the door cracked until they begin to dry out and just before they start to crisp. About 1-2 minutes.
Step 19
Flip and broil the other side for another 1-2 minutes until they just start to crisp. You do not want them to fully crisp as you need to be able to roll them. You may have to crisp them in two batches. Just stack them on a plate as they finish.
Step 20
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and take out a 9x13 pan and an 8x8 pan.
Step 21
Place about 1/2-3/4 cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of each pan and spread out evenly.
Step 22
Scoop some of the mixture into a warm tortilla, roll it up, then place seam side down in the pan. It’s okay if a little of the filling falls out. You want the enchiladas to be touching one another.
Step 23
Keep rolling until you have no more filling left.
Step 24
Pour enchilada sauce over top and spread, so the tortillas are smothered.
Step 25
Reserve about 1 cup of the sauce.
Step 26
Cover with foil and bake for about 15 minutes. All of the ingredients should still be fairly warm so it won’t take long to heat.
