Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• 2 chicken sausage, removed from the casing and then pan sauteed (there are many good savory ones with sage, garlic, apples, etc, i love aidells which is available at)
• 3 poblano peppers (cut in half and roasted)
• 1 large onion (cut in half and thin sliced)
• 2 cups butternut squash (rough chopped)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup queso blanco (you could also use a cheddar)
• 16 corn tortillas
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• salt
• pepper
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Recipe

• 1 peppers and squash -- peel the butternut squash, cut and add to a bowl. then add the pepper and toss in the bowl as well. coat well and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. put them on a cookie sheet that is lined with parchment paper or foil and then roast at 425°f for 15-20 minutes until the squash is soft and the peppers start to brown.
• 2 peppers -- after the peppers are nice and brown, remove and put in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 10-15 minutes. this will allow the skin to peel off easily.
• 3 remove the squash and cover to cool. after the peppers set, peel and chop and add to the squash and cover to keep warm.
• 4 filling -- as the squash and peppers roast, saute the onions in a medium saute pan with the remaining olive oil. then add the sausage and cook until slightly brown, then the broth and cook until the liquid is reduced. about 5 more minutes.
• 5 tortillas -- i like to heat my tortillas just in a foil wrapped pouch in a 350°f oven for about 20 minute.
• 6 sour cream -- 1 cup sour cream plus the cumin, chili powder and cilantro.
• 7 stuff and enjoy! -- in my warm tortilla -- i like to add some of the butternut squash and peppers, then some of the cheese, a little of the sausage and onions and a little more cheese. a squeeze of lime and it is perfect!
