Butternut Squash and Black Bean Enchilada Skillet

A healthy vegetarian Mexican-inspired dinner: butternut squash and black bean enchilada skillet. Ready in less than 30 minutes with 13g fiber & 16g protein.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
3 cups 1/2-inch-diced, peeled butternut
squash (from about a 2-lb. squash)
salt and pepper, to season
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 - 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
8 yellow corn tortillas, cut into thick strips
1-15 ounce can red enchilada sauce
1 cup reduced-fat colby jack or mexican
cheese (or whatever you prefer), divided cilantro and low-fat sour cream, for serving

Instructions

Step 1
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in large oven-proof skillet. Add onions, garlic, and jalapeno and cook 2-3 minutes until onions become translucent and garlic is fragrant.

Step 2
Add cubed squash, cumin and chili powder and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is slightly tender, 10-13 minutes. You want the squash to be fork tender, but not so tender that it starts to fall apart and become mush.

Step 3
Next add the black beans, corn tortilla pieces, and can of enchilada sauce and stir to combine.

Step 4
Reduce heat to medium-low and sprinkle in 1/2 cup of cheese. Stir again and simmer for a few minutes.

Step 5
Turn on your oven broiler to high. Sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup of cheese over the top of the enchilada mixture and place in oven under broiler for 3-5 minutes until cheese melts and tortilla edges become a tiny golden brown.

Step 6
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Feel free to add in cilantro. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce! Enjoy!
