Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
-
In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced butternut squash and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
-
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Stir in the shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, blending all the flavors together. Remove from heat.
-
Pour a small amount of enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
-
Place a scoop of the chicken and squash mixture into the center of a tortilla. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top. Roll the tortilla and place it seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
-
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the assembled enchiladas. Sprinkle any remaining cheese on top.
-
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
-
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
