Not all pumpkin dishes have to be sweet! Use pumpkin in place of sweet potatoes to make these awesome vegan enchiladas.

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 sweet onion, diced
1 poblano pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
Pinch cinnamon
1 (15 oz can) pumpkin puree (or 2 cups fresh)
1 (15 oz can) black beans (or 2 cups cooked)
Water, as needed
1 lime, juiced
2 cups enchilada sauce
12 corn tortillas
1 Haas avocado, sliced

1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Cook the onion, pepper, and garlic for a few minutes, until the onion turns translucent. Add the spices, pumpkin, and black beans and cook until heated through.

2. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lime juice.

3. Spread half of the enchilada sauce onto the bottom of an 8X8″ glass baking pan.

4. To roll up the enchiladas, put a few tablespoons of filling down the center of your tortilla, roll it up, then place it seam-side-down in the pan. Repeat until you have enough enchiladas to fill the whole pan, then top with the remaining enchilada sauce.

5. Bake for 20-25 minutes and serve topped with sliced avocado.
