  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (like Rotel), undrained
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Remove the skillet from the oven and set the oven to broil.
  4. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes and green chilies, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Stir in the corn tortilla wedges, making sure they are submerged in the sauce.
  8. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top of the skillet.
  9. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving.
  11. Garnish with optional toppings such as sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.

Notes

For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño to the skillet along with the other vegetables.
