Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Meanwhile add coconut oil, chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic to large sauce pan, and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until onions are translucent, add in black beans and cooked butternut squash, stir to combine.
Add all seasonings (chili powder through black pepper) to sauce pan and stir well.
Then add shredded aged cheddar cheese and salsa, mix well, and let simmer 2-3 minutes on low.
Using a glass 9x13 casserole dish, add enchilada sauce and spread to an even layer, making sure you coat evenly.
Lay out tortillas, and add two large spoonfuls of butternut squash mix to center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with a layer of lite Mexican blend cheese, then fold two ends in and add to casserole dish with the folded side down.
You should have approx 2 tbsp of Mexican blend cheese left after adding all ten enchiladas to dish, sprinkle tops of enchiladas with the remaining cheese, then bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Remove and let cool for 3-5 minutes, then serve with tortilla chips and top with sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, avocado!
