Ingredients
  

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1-2 tsp adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1 can cider beer
  • 10 oz baby portobella mushrooms, quartered
  • 2 cups butternut squash, cubed
  • 2 cups kale, roughly torn
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups red enchilada sauce, homemade or store bought
  • 8 corn or wheat tortillas
  • avocado slices, Greek yogurt, and chopped cilantro, to serve

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Saute the garlic and shallot until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the chipotle sauce, honey, chili powder, cumin, ginger, and cayenne pepper, then toss in the mushrooms and butternut squash. Pour the can of cider beer and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid is largely absorbed. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese and the kale.
  • Warm tortillas in the microwave under damp paper towels for 30 seconds to make more pliable.
  • Spoon 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Working one tortilla at a time, scoop 2 tablespoons of enchilada filling in the center, then roll and place seam-side down in the casserole dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. If you have leftover filling, carefully poke it into the open sides of the tortillas.
  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Garnish with avocado, cilantro, and sour cream or Greek yogurt, as desired.
