Savory Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Enchiladas
from Lindsey B. Durant, creator of the food blog, Chic Chef
Says Lindsey: “It fits my personality. I’m frugal and hate to waste anything... It’s about using a sweet potato or butternut squash in the time frame in which it’s still a viable food." Truly a dish for both vegetarians and omnivores alike.
1/2 cup butternut squash, cubed
1 1/2 cup past peak sweet potatoes, boiled, peeled and mashed
4 Tbsp. sweet yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small can diced green chilies
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small can diced green chilies
¼ tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
2 cup pepper jack, shredded
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt
1 bottle Trader Joe's Enchilada sauce
7-8 large tortillas (preferably wheat/corn blend)
2 cup pepper jack, shredded
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt
1 bottle Trader Joe's Enchilada sauce
7-8 large tortillas (preferably wheat/corn blend)
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Spray a 9x11" baking dish with cooking spray. Over medium heat, sauté onion, squash and sweet potatoes until tender. Add garlic, diced green chilies, cinnamon and nutmeg. Lightly mash together while still in pan without over-mashing; small chunks add texture to the dish).
- In a large bowl, mix 1 cup shredded cheddar and all of jack cheese together with sour cream and yogurt. Add mashed squash to bowl and combine well.
- Warm tortillas in a dry frying pan.
- Scoop approximately 2/3 cup of mixture into each tortilla. Wrap tightly and place seam side down into greased baking dish. Continue until pan packed tightly with 7-8 enchiladas. Pour enchilada sauce over entire pan.
- Bake covered tightly with foil for 25 minutes. Take out and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheddar and bake 15-20 more minutes uncovered, or until bubbly. Serve immediately.
Preparation tip: The enchilada filling can be prepared ahead of time (2 days at most) and stored in an airtight container until you are ready to prepare the dish.
