Method

  • In a saute pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Saute the cubed butternut squash until it softens, about 7-9 minutes.
  • Remove pan from the heat, put it into a bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher.
  • Set aside.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the saute pan used for the potatoes, over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and cook until they soften and become translucent (about 4 minutes).
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes until some of the liquid has cooked off, then add the spinach.
  • Season the mixture with the cumin and ancho chile powder, mix well and cook for a few minutes longer until the spinach is wilted.
  • Then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  • Place two tortillas on a baking sheet.
  • Spread the mashed butternut squash over half of each tortilla.
  • Divide the mushroom, spinach and onion mixture into two equal parts and spoon that over the top of the butternut squash.
  • Top that with the Monterey jack cheese and fold the plain side of the tortilla over the mixture.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for about 7-9 minutes.
  • Then turn the broiler on and allow the tops of the tortillas to brown, just slightly (about 1 minute).
  • Remove pan from the oven and allow the tortillas to sit for a few minutes before slicing them.
  • Serve warm, with avocado, sour cream and salsa if youd like.
