Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.

Step 2

Let's get started with the butternut squash. Firstly you are going to peel the squash. Next, cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the guts. Then chop the squash into cubes.

Step 3

Once squash is cubed, place into a large bowl and add in the lime juice, olive oil, and all of the spices (coriander, cumin, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder). Mix together and then place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake for 25 minutes.

Step 4

While the squash is roasting, let's get cracking on the sauce. Firstly, heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a pot over medium-high heat and add in the onion and garlic and saute until the onion is translucent. Next add in the paprika, chili powder, oregano and stir together. Next in goes the tomato sauce and tomato paste, water, and apple cider vinegar. Stir fully together and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Once squash is soft, place in a large bowl with black beans, cilantro, and anything else you would like to add into the filling of the enchilada. Add in 2 cups of the sauce and mix together.

Step 6

Spoon 1 cup of the enchilada sauce onto the bottom of a large casserole dish. Spread the sauce to cover the full bottom of the dish.

Step 7

Now it is time to assemble. Lay the tortillas flat on a cutting board. Spoon about 3 tbsp of the butternut squash black bean mixture onto each tortilla. Add 1 tbsp of sauce, and then 1 tbsp of shredded cheese. From there, roll the tortillas and place them into the casserole dish with the open seam facing down. Fill the casserole dish with as many rolled and stuff tortillas that can fit.

Step 8

Once the casserole dish is full, spoon on another cup of the enchilada sauce across the middle of all of the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle on a handful or two of shredded cheese and bake in the oven at 350 for 25 minutes.

Step 9

You're close to the end!!! In a food processor, blitz together the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and cilantro. Blitz until smooth.

Step 10

After the cheese has melted on top of the enchiladas you are good to serve. Top with the avocado crema, fresh avocados, cilantro, and limes. ENJOY!!!
