My good friend and client sent me this recipe for enchiladas with a different twist. I absolutely love butternut squash and these enchiladas sound yummy!!! Enjoy!
Butternut Squash Enchiladas
2 large butternut squash
2 Tbls cream cheese
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp ancho chili powder
2 Tbls diced roasted chili peppers
...1 Tbls green onion, sliced
1 Tbls cilantro
Pinch of salt
Four 6in corn tortillas ( we used flour)
1 cup enchilada sauce
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Halve the squash lengthwise and remove seeds. Bake at 350 degrees until soft, about one hour. Cool. Scrape out flesh and drain in colander, using a few plates on top to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. In a bowl, mix squash with cream cheese, cumin, chili powder, roasted chili peppers, green onion, cilantro and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Scoop the filling onto the tortillas and roll them up. Place them seam-side down on an oiled pan. Cover with enchilada sauce and top with cheese. Make sure the tortillas are completely covered with sauce so they don't dry out. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees until the cheese melts and turns brown and the filling is hot, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Serves four.
