Huevos Rancheros with Butternut Squash Filling
The other day I made one of our favorite comfort foods, Butternut Squash and Black Bean Enchiladas. Whenever I make them, I always end up with a little bit extra of the filling. Yesterday, as I was figuring out what to make for breakfast {more like brunch}, I decided to come up with a fresh take on the traditional huevos rancheros. I used the butternut squash and black bean mixture as the filling here. I toasted corn tortillas, added the filling, and topped it off with a fried egg. I then added diced avocado, fresh salsa, cilantro, and queso fresco. It was so yummy and a great hearty breakfast for those lazy weekend mornings. Definitely a great way to use leftovers!Huevos Rancheros with Roasted Butternut Squash and Black BeansFor the filling:1 1/4 cups Roasted butternut squash1/2 can of Black beans, drained and rinsed2 Tbsp.

The recipe for the butternut squash will yield several cups of the filling. I did cut the recipe in half here for you. Double it and you can refrigerate the leftovers or make the enchiladas.
