Butternut Squash & Cauliflower Enchiladas
Instructions
Prep:10minCook:30min
The butternut squash and cauliflower in these easy layered enchiladas are frozen and don’t need to be thawed, making this a healthy and quick dinner. Look for canned tomatillos, sometimes labeled green tomatoes, in the international aisle of your grocery store.
Ingredients
2 11-ounce cans of whole tomatillos, drained
2 cups of diced white onion , divided
¾ cup of packed fresh cilantro
2 small cloves of garlic
1 serrano or jalapeno chile, chopped, seeded if desired
2 tablespoons of lime juice
1½ teaspoons of ground cumin
16 5- to 6-inch of corn tortillas
2 cups of frozen diced butternut squash
2 cups of frozen cauliflower florets
2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese , divided
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Combine tomatillos, 1 cup onion, cilantro, garlic, chile, lime juice and cumin in a blender; puree on high until smooth, about 1 minute.
Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Layer 4 tortillas over the sauce. Top with 1/2 cup squash, 1/2 cup cauliflower, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/4 cup of the remaining onion. Repeat the layers twice. Top with the remaining tortillas, squash, cauliflower and onion. Spread the remaining sauce on top.
Coat a large piece of foil with cooking spray and cover the baking dish tightly. Bake the enchiladas for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Continue baking until the cheese is melted and the edges are starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.
Tips & Notes
Refrigerate sauce (Step 2) for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
