This is a tasty variation on enchiladas! My version is vegetarian with soy chorizo, but it could easily be switched out for regular chorizo or taco-seasoned ground beef. Save time and work by buying pre-cubed bags of butternut squash. This is a mildly spicy dish, so you can cool it down a little by topping with sliced avocado and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups butternut squash , cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 0.33 cups chopped sweet onion
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup soy chorizo , crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro , divided
  • 1.5 cups green salsa
  • 0.33 cups plain Greek yogurt , or more to taste
  • 10 corns tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 large avocado - peeled , pitted, and sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Place cubed butternut squash and chopped onion in a large baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

  3. 3

    Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add soy chorizo; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir the roasted squash, onion, chorizo, and 2 tablespoons cilantro together in a medium bowl.

  6. 6

    Stir salsa and yogurt together in another bowl. Pour a thin layer over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish or two 8-inch square dishes. Dip 1 tortilla into the sauce; fill with about 1/3 cup of the squash mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese. Roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat until all the squash mixture is used up. Cover enchiladas with remaining salsa mixture and cheese.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted is is starting to brown in places, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with avocado and remaining cilantro.
