Ingredients

  • 8 (5 inch) corn tortillas
  • 1/2 unpeeled butternut squash, seeded
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
  • 4 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream, for topping (optional)

Method

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Lay the tortillas flat onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove and allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile, place the butternut squash half into a microwave-safe dish cut-side-down, and pour in the water.
  • Cook in the microwave until tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and dice; place into a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Continue cooking until the spinach wilts.
  • Gently fold the spinach mixture into the diced butternut squash.
  • Arrange four crispy tortillas on the baking sheet.
  • Divide the squash mixture among the tortillas.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of goat cheese over each tortilla, then top with the remaining tortillas.
  • Pour the enchilada sauce over top, and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of cotija cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot, about 10 minutes.
  • Garnish each enchilada with chopped cilantro leaves and a dollop of sour cream to serve.
