Prepare the black bean and summer squash filling: Saute half of a chopped onion and two minced cloves of garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil over low-medium heat. When the onions are tender, add the squash, salt and cook uncovered until squash turns tender and barely starts to fall apart (10 minutes or so). Add rinsed black beans and mix well. Let cook for a few more minutes. Remove from heat and add cumin powder, fresh thyme and chili flakes. Mix well and remove the filling to a serving bowl.
Ask the hotline about this step!Prepare the tomato sauce: In the same pan in which you cooked the filling, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sautee the other half of the onion and the remaining clove of garlic. When the onion is tender, add diced tomatoes with its juices and the tomato sauce. Add salt, sugar, oregano and stir well. Let cook for 10-15 minutes and then remove from heat. Taste. If the sauce is too acidic, add more sugar.

Ask the hotline about this step!Bake for 15 minutes or so until the cheese is melted. Remove, serve warm with guacamole or sour cream and some fresh cilantro.
Ask the hotline about this step!Ah. Links don't work in the comments. Oh, well, the summary works fine.
Thanks rfstubbe! The link below did show up in the email I received for this comment from food52. I would have to try your suggestion of green enchilada sauce; I think it will go really well here. Thanks for the review.
I made these tonight and posted a complete review here. They're good. I added some cheese. I'd delete Step 2 including the ingredients, and then in Step 5 I would simply pour a can of green enchilada sauce onto the enchiladas before sprinkling with cheese. But they're good as is.

I just made this and wanted to tell you that it was lovely! Although not technically authentic, I added a tiny amount of lime powder to the filling just to give it a little more zing, but it was a big hit in the house and so wanted to thank you for posting the recipe which is sure to be a firm favourite!
