  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F Toss cubed squash in 2 tablespoons of oil, cumin and chili powder. Bake until tender, about 30 minutes. After squash has cooled a bit, squish it with a potato masher.
  2. 2
    Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 3 minutes. Mix in squash mixture and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tortilla at a time on a non-stick skillet about 10 seconds aside, then place 1 heaping tablespoon squash mixture down center of each tortilla. Top with about 2 teaspoons of cheese. Roll up tortillas. Arrange seam side down in a glass baking dish. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead; covered and chilled.) Pour enchilada sauce over enchiladas and bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until the enchiladas are heated through and bubbly. While they bake, prepare the Black Bean Sauce.

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the cumin, paprika, and chili powder and saute for 1 minute. Add the beans and sour cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes.
