Ingredients:  
•1 tablespoon vegetable oil
•½ large white onion, chopped

•1 cup small diced butternut squash (about ½ medium squash)
•1 teaspoon dried oregano
•1 teaspoon ground cumin
•½ teaspoon coriander
•½ teaspoon smoked paprika
•½ teaspoon coarse salt
•1 can black beans (15.5 ounces), drained and rinsed

Directions:
Directions:
Pour oil into a large skillet and warm it over medium-low heat. Add onions, garlic, pepper, squash, oregano, cumin, coriander, paprika and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and you can pierce squash with a fork, about 10 minutes. (Squash will complete cooking in the oven.) Stir in beans.

Preheat oven to 350
Coat bottom of 8-inch square pan with ½ cup of salsa. Then begin layering lasagna: Spread 4 tortillas on top of the salsa, then half the squash mixture. Dollop with 1 ½ tablespoons sour cream and ½ cup cheese. Add 4 more tortillas, the remaining squash mixture, 1 ½ tablespoons sour cream and ½ cup cheese. The last layer is the remaining 4 tortillas, topped with ½ cup salsa, remaining ¾ cup cheese and the green onions.

Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
