Chicken Enchilada Recipe with Butternut Squash

This Chicken Enchilada Recipe made with potatoes and butternut squash is a seasonal twist on a family favorite!


Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas with Butternut Squash a comfort food recipe, for sure! dineanddish.netDo any of you get a little anxiety ridden this time of year about finances? I swear, for the past 3 Decembers in a row, our cars have decided to come up with random problems… a couple thousand dollar shop repairs kind of problems. I know it’s never a good time to have car problems, but I wish our cars would hold off on the issues until after Christmas!

In an effort to be more budget conscious, I’ve been trying to find different ways to save money. I’ve been coloring my hair at home. I menu plan, which means we’ve been eating out a lot less. I’ve been using our public library a lot more instead of buying books. If there is a way to save a dollar or two, I’m at least attempting it.

Cartwheel-1

I believe coupon cutting and hunting down deals would be a great way to save money, but I’m not a coupon clipper, at all. I’ve tried to be, but I think it’s just a talent I don’t have… (coupon clipping is a talent, don’t you think? Or at least coupon USING is…I can cut out coupons until the cows come home. Using them once they are cut is a completely different story).  That’s why I love apps like the Target Cartwheel App! Simply by scanning a personalized bar code on my smart phone, I am able to save big bucks on hundreds of products (food, electronics, home, toys, clothing…everything) at Target! And I don’t need to keep track of coupons to do it! 

Cartwheel-IngredientsHave you used the Target Cartwheel app yet? Let me tell you what I love about it…

  • No coupon clipping (yeah!) All the savings are tied back to the barcode on your phone (or you can print out your barcode and bring it to the store too)
  • You can stack the coupons on top of Weekly Ad savings, manufacturer coupons, all other Target coupons – so if you are blessed with the gift of using coupons, you can go ahead and use those on top of your Cartwheel App savings!
  • If you are pinching pennies for holiday baking and gift buying, they have over 900 changing offers on the app, so you can save on many of the items on your shopping list!
  • I feel like coupons are often for pre-packaged products and name brand items. The Cartwheel app has offers for name brand things, and also savings on fresh produce, their store brand items and more. Everything I used to make this chicken enchilada recipe had a Cartwheel savings attached to it! You can’t beat that!

Download the Cartwheel app HERE to save on all your holiday baking, gifting, and everyday needs! It’s easy and you can start saving today!

Now, let’s talk about this chicken enchilada recipe. My sister-in-law makes the most amazing beef enchiladas…they have carrots and potatoes in them and are one of my absolute favorite foods. I mean, I like just about any kind of enchiladas but hers are the best! I decided to change up her recipe just a bit…by adding chicken and butternut squash! The result was something just a little bit different but almost just as good. (I’ll never come up with something AS good as Ginger’s enchiladas!).

What I love most about this recipe is that it’s one of those penny pincher kind of recipes…you can make it once and eat two meals out of it. The reheated leftovers taste even better than the fresh out of the oven creation! Plus, every ingredient in this chicken enchilada recipe is tied to a savings amount in the Target Cartwheel app! You can’t beat that!

If you love to shop at Target, and love saving money (who doesn’t on both of those?) then download the Target Cartwheel app today. Then, go shopping for the ingredients for this chicken enchilada recipe, and make it today! Enjoy!

    I was just telling someone I had no idea about the Cartwheel app which is mildly embarrassing considering how much time and money I spent at my beloved Target!! Love that they have pre-cubed butternut squash cubes too!! This looks awesome Kristen.

      Oh my goodness… you will LOVE the Cartwheel app! I mean, my husband would probably never equate the words Target and Budget together because I love shopping there too much. But now I don’t feel nearly as guilty about it!

      Instead of cubed squash at $2.99 a pound your better microwaving a $.045 a pound squash whole
      see the squash section in the description

    I’m a huge Target fan, in fact, Smudge says if we ever get locked into a store she wants it to be Target. We were there on Black Friday and they were sold out of a light up Christmas Pig that Smudge HAD to have. We’d already been there three times before, and they always had the display up, but didn’t have any we could buy. The cutest sales associate, Diamond (and she was a Diamond! So cute!) went and talked to her manager, and made it happen so we could take the display home. ON THE BUSIEST SHOPPING DAY OF THE YEAR! She was awesome! I’m downloading the app as we speak.

    And I like your enchiladas a WHOLE lot! Ginger’s going to be jealous.

      Oh I love that story! And now you MUST share a photo of this light up Christmas pig.
      You should send a little note to Target about your Diamond experience!

      When I get enchiladas without potatoes in them, I’m like “what? These are missing something!” Potatoes MAKE an enchilada great!

    I love this post Kristen! I have a wad of coupon in my wallet but half of them expire before I can use them. What I started doing is shopping my local Target vs Grocery store on things like Laundry detergent, Dish Soap and paper good. I was surprised to find that Target was cheaper! And if I am ever questioning, I just check the note I left in my phone! I also see that Target is really dropping pricing on things like powdered sugar ($.50 a bag) during the holidays so I am stocking up there too! Thanks for the tip on the coupons, I will have to check it out. On a side note, these Enchiladas look awesome, I would’t mind trying the butternut squash myself!

    First of all, these enchiladas look amazing. Secondly, Elle accidentally deleted this app a few months ago and I completely forgot to reinstall it – thanks for the reminder. Target is pretty much my favorite place – ever. 🙂

    I could seriously live at Target…but that might get awkward! Seriously though it is my all time favorite store!!! I have to down load that app, and then tell my hubby that I HAVE to go shopping again…to save money 🙂 For yummy enchilada ingredients of course. Not those cute shoes and sweater I saw the other day. Wink, wink!

H is for...high!
.
It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!

Who are you rooting for Sunday? Chiefs, Buccaneers or tacos? 😂

D is for... Dreary (and Dog)
February has always been my least favorite month. I have a special name for this month that may start with another not so nice F word...🤭.
.
In Kansas, the sun usually doesn't shine that often, it's cold, and just kind of gray and blah.
.
My indoor jungle makes me happy though...especially this space in my office. Houseplants almost makes me forget we’re in the “F” month 😂.
.
Also, my dog (my favorite d word) would not sit still for a picture when I had my tripod set up, but I finally caught her sitting on her bed and had to catch a picture with my phone. Swipe and you’ll see she is much overdue for a haircut.

C is for Coaching, Coffee and Crystals! Lots of C words today. My @rockyourhappy coaching practice has been the best thing.

Coffee, of course, is my favorite C word and Crystals…my daughters got me into the energy powers of crystals and it’s been really fun to learn all about them.

B is for Books! Are you a big reader? I wasn’t really a reader growing up. Well, I take that back. In junior high I plowed through the Sweet Valley High series (anyone else?) 😊 And when I was in elementary school I would bust my butt to get to the highest level in the SRA Reading box before anyone else. But I wasn’t a kid who you’d find with their nose in a book, ever.
.

It wasn’t until I was an adult, and my kids began to sleep through the night, that I started reading for fun. Now, I read all the time and it’s one of my favorite pastimes. I love talking books with people and sharing recommendations. I really don’t watch TV, so books, especially right now, is my main form of entertainment.
.

This is why for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photography challenge, I knew that Books would be my B. It’s my favorite B word (beating out Bullet Journaling, Bread, Blankets, Be Happy, etc).

A is for Alone. I think one of the hardest things for me to get used to this past year is rarely being alone. My husband used to travel all the time. My school aged kids were in school all day while I worked. I’d even get several days a month in a hotel room by myself for my work travels. I like my alone time and it’s definitely something I miss.
.

I’m easily distracted so you will usually find me working in complete silence…maybe just the hum of my essential oil diffuser and the sound of my fingers on my keyboard. I need the quiet and treasure silence.
.

With that said, I’ve loved the extra time with my family - and we’ve all learned over the past several months how to give each other space and recognize when we need that space. As of today, my kids all are back to school full time in person 😢. Nick is still working from home and will be for the time being, but now the aloneness feels strange. I’m sure we’ll get used to this “new normal” yet again!
