Butternut Squash Enchiladas With Tomatillo Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and dice; place into a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Continue cooking until the spinach wilts. Gently fold the spinach mixture into the diced butternut squash.
