3 – 1/2

1

(1)
Place the butternut squash in a medium saucepan with the
salt and water to cover. Cover and bring to a boil, then simmer until tender,
about 10 minutes. Drain, mash and set aside. (2)
While the butternut squash is cooking, warm the oil in a
medium skillet or saucepan and add the onions, garlic, and chile. Cover and cook on medium-low heat, stirring
occasionally, until the onions are tender, about 7 minutes. Add the beans, cumin
and coriander and cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer, stirring frequently. Remove
from the heat and set aside. (3)
Lightly oil a large baking dish. Spoon about 2/3 to 3/4 cup of the
bean filling in the center of each tortilla, top with mashed squash, then
roll it up, and place it, seam side down, in the baking dish. Cover tightly
with foil and bake for about 30 minutes, until piping hot. Serve topped with
salsa. |
