Roasted Butternut Squash and Soy Chorizo Enchiladas

Recipesfull introduces to you: Enchilada Recipes. (Roasted Butternut Squash and Soy Chorizo Enchiladas). This is a tasty variation on enchiladas! My version is vegetarian with soy chorizo, but it could easily be switched out for regular chorizo or taco-seasoned ground beef. Save time and work by buying pre-cubed bags of butternut squash. This is a mildly spicy dish, so you can cool it down a little by topping with sliced avocado and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.
