step-by-step
instructions
1
Roast the squash
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the squash on the foil; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and half the spice blend (you will have extra). Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 21 to 23 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
2
Prepare the ingredients
Meanwhile, peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Drain and rinse the beans.
3
Make the spinach rice
Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, chopped garlic, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the spinach and stir to combine.
4
Cook the chorizo
Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chorizo. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 7 to 9 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat.
5
Make the filling
To the bowl of spinach rice, add the cooked chorizo, roasted squash, drained beans, and half the sour cream. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
6
Assemble, bake & serve the enchiladas
Place the tortillas on a work surface. Spread about 3 1/2 cups of the filling into the bottom of a baking dish. Divide the remaining filling among the tortillas; tightly roll up each tortilla around the filling. Transfer to the baking dish, seam side down. Evenly top with the tomatillo sauce and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 2 minutes before serving. Serve the baked enchiladas topped with the remaining sour cream. Enjoy!
