1 1/2 cups salsa
1 packet (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix

Instructions

Step
1

Begin by gathering your ingredients.
Step
2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the onions until soft and transparent, 5-7 minutes.
Step
3

Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the beans, corn, salsa, butternut squash, water and seasoning mix.
Step
4

Simmer for 25-35 minutes or until the butternut squash is soft.
Step
5

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step
6

Spread about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce along the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Step
7

Lay 2 tortilla shells over the sauce so they touch the ends of the dish and overlap each other in the middle.
Step
8

Spread half of the filling over the tortillas, then pour half of the remaining enchilada sauce over it, then sprinkle with cheese. Repeat the layers; place two more tortillas over the cheese, add the remaining filling, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over, and top with the remaining cheese.
Step
9

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Serve with sour cream if desired.
