As for the sauce that could be anything you like as well. Green, Red etc. Made from tomatoes, dried chiles, powder or whatever. You could also use a mole sauce.

Well, I have been lambasted by people for my variations on traditional favorites like enchiladas or chili.
Hadn't thought of a mole sauce! I HAVE thought of using butternut squash though. The sweet potato is just less hassle - it cooks partially in the microwave in 3 minutes and then I dice it up and brown it with the other veggies. Butternut squash would be tasty - I will try it one day when I have more time.
I just finished the last of my frozen enchiladas stash, so I'm gonna have to make more fast! LOL
