Chipotle Butternut Squash Enchiladas

My obsession with butternut squash continues. I know that enchiladas with black beans and butternut squash are not a novelty to a lot of people, but I finally decided to make them. I loved the smokey chili flavor cominbed with the sweet butternut squash - so much I had it for lunch 3 days in a row after our main meal! Today I am sharing my version, Chipotle Butternut Squash Enchiladas.

Most of my readers are aware that Grumpy turns his nose up at Mexican Food. But, if your here for the first time, you don't know that! I don't understand his dislike. Probably much like his inability to understand my dislike of his boxed shells and cheese! I love a good Mexican meal. As a matter of fact, when I was home last weekend, the one place I went out to eat was the Cactus Cantina in Potsdam. I needed their Chili Relleno. Badly.

Anyhow, that explains how I was able to take these enchilada's to lunch for 3 days after eating them for dinner. Grumpy was a good sport and he ate a serving for dinner, but that was all he ate. I knew better than to say we were having leftovers for dinner the next night! ha ha. That was just fine and dandy with me though.

I will continue to feed my butternut squash obsession and look for new and different and equally delicious ways to serve it. However, I will definitely make these again. Just the filling itself is good enough to sit down and eat a bowl of it! I'm thinking it would make a great omlette filling also as well as burrito! If you love butternut squash and have yet to try it as enchiladas, then I suggest you don't hold off on trying it any longer. I know I wish I hadn't!
