Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Place squash on sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and black pepper; toss to coat evenly. Roast about 25 minutes or until squash is tender, tossing once halfway through.
- In a large bowl add roasted squash, 1 cup enchilada sauce, black beans, 1 cup cheese, and cilantro. Toss until combined.
- Spread 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of the squash filling. Fold and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas.
- Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake enchiladas, covered, 20 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 5 minutes. Garnish with additional cilantro; serve with sliced avocado and Greek yogurt or Mexican crema, if desired.
