  1. Preheat oven to 400⁰F. Cut acorn squash in half. Scoop out seeds and place cut side down onto a baking sheet. Roast for 35 minutes, or until flesh is soft.

  4. In another large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Once oil is hot, add the onion cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add in black beans and corn. Cook until the mixture is heated through, about 4 minutes. Turn off and set aside.
  5. Remove roasted acorn squash from the oven and scoop out flesh. In a large bowl, mash acorn squash until smooth. Stir in cheese and add black bean, corn, onion mixture.
  6. Preheat oven to 375⁰F. Warm corn tortillas in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel until they are flexible, about 1 minute. In a casserole dish, spread ½-cup enchilada sauce on bottom of dish. Dip one tortilla in the enchilada sauce and place tortilla into your casserole dish, fill with filling and wrap tightly. Repeat 7 times. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over enchiladas and bake for 30-40 minutes. Optional: Serve with avocados, cilantro, extra cheese
