Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a rectangular glass baking dish.

In a large mixing bowl, mix the squash and cream cheese until completely blended. Add the spices, chiles, green onions , black beans and cilantro and blend well.

Holding the tortilla like a taco, place a generous amount of filling in it. Roll it into a tube and place seam side down in the baking dish. If a little bloops out the ends, don't worry. You're not making burritos here so fill it full. All you need to do is make a tube that will stay put when you put it in the dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas until your filling is used up.

Ladle the enchilada sauce uber alles. Make sure you get it down in between the enchiladas and all around the edges. Get sauce on all the tortilla surfaces so that they don't dry out when they're baking. Once you're done, go ahead and pour a little more on. Can't hurt, right?

Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake for 30- 40 minutes until they're bubbly and the cheese has browned ever- so- slightly.
