20 minutes to prep, 25 to cook. These Pumpkin‑Guajillo Enchiladas feature a silky, orange‑hued pumpkin sauce that’s both creamy and spicy, perfect for a cozy fall dinner. Filled with melty cheese and hearty black beans, they’re a vegetarian twist on a classic Mexican favorite that can be prepared ahead and baked to bubbly perfection.

Method

  1. Sauté cumin seeds, onion, and garlic in a little oil until fragrant.

  2. Add the dried guajillo chilies and continue to sauté briefly.

  3. Add the canned pumpkin and vegetable broth, then blend the mixture with apple cider vinegar until smooth to create the sauce.

  4. Spread a thin layer of the pumpkin sauce on the bottom of a glass baking dish.

  5. Quickly fry each corn tortilla in oil for a few seconds on each side.

  6. Fill each tortilla with shredded cheese and black beans, roll them up, and place them seam‑side down in the baking dish.

  7. Pour the remaining pumpkin sauce over the rolled enchiladas and sprinkle with extra shredded cheese.

  8. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 375°F for about 15 minutes.

  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  10. Sprinkle chopped green herbs over the baked enchiladas.
