Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Place cubed butternut squash and chopped onion in a large baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Step 3

Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add soy chorizo; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir the roasted squash, onion, chorizo, and 2 tablespoons cilantro together in a medium bowl.

Step 6

Stir salsa and yogurt together in another bowl. Pour a thin layer over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish or two 8-inch square dishes. Dip 1 tortilla into the sauce; fill with about 1/3 cup of the squash mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese. Roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat until all the squash mixture is used up. Cover enchiladas with remaining salsa mixture and cheese.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted is is starting to brown in places, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with avocado and remaining cilantro.
