When it comes to weeknight dinners, I love a good shortcut.

I shamelessly buy pre-cut veggies whenever I can.

One of my go-tos once fall hits is pre-cut and -peeledbutternut squash.

But my favorite way to use pre-cut squash is in thisButternut Squash & Black Bean Tostadasrecipe.

It makes one of my favorite types of fall produce doable for weeknights.

Smoky chiles like ancho or chipotle are a match made in heaven with sweet and earthy butternut squash.

Leftovers of this smoky, sweet squash make a killer breakfast-burrito filling the next day as well.

The best thing about this recipe is that it feels like a restaurant-quality dish with rich flavors and textures.

This dish is also the perfect combo of anti-inflammatory ingredients.

The anti-inflammatory phytonutrients in legumes like black beans are also linked tolower levels of cancerin some studies.

What I love most about this recipe is how easy it is to throw together.

Plus, many of the ingredients are already in my kitchen.
