Roasted Butternut Squash and Soy Chorizo Enchiladas
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.
Slow Cooker Pozole
An easy pozole recipe made in the slow cooker. You can add another can of hominy if your slow cooker is large. I prefer hot enchilada sauce with salsa, but the regular kind will do. Traditional Mexican pozole is served with shredded cabbage, lime wedges, avocado, onion, cilantro, and, of course, warm tortillas.
