If you can say “Butternut Squash Enchilada Shakshuka” five times consecutively, my hat’s off to you, dude and dudettes! For me, “Butternut Squash Enchilada Shakshuka” is a bit of a tongue twister. But, that’s where the difficulty ends. This dish, which is a fusion of Mexican Cuisine and North African/Arabic Cuisine, is so easy to whip up – thanks to Sprouts Organic Red Enchilada Sauce!
I brought home Sprouts Organic Red Enchilada Sauce for the first time last week and the first thing my daughter and I did was to fish out spoons to taste it. The next thing I knew, we were standing around the kitchen island, dipping Sprouts Ancient Grains Chips into it. And, just like Goldilocks and the Little Bear’s bowl of porridge, we managed to eat it all up! This stuff is slightly smokey, slightly sweet, slightly spicy and oh so very good! If y’all haven’t tried Sprouts Organic Red Enchilada Sauce yet, I urge y’all to pick at least one jar up the next time y’all are grocery shopping there. By the way, if there isn’t a Sprouts Farmers Market near y’all – no worries! They now deliver their groceries (in select markets) through Amazon!
But, back to this Sprouts Organic Red Enchilada Sauce. Since I moved, I am no longer a 15 minute drive away from Sprouts – but making that 45 minute drive to pick up the last bottle of this Sprouts Organic Red Enchilada Sauce was so worth it. I brought that last bottle home and decided it’s usage had to be rationed! So, I used 1 cup of it in this super Easy Butternut Squash Enchilada Shakshuka and another in an Easy Sweet and Spicy Enchilada Chicken (which I will be sharing on Instagram next week). This fusion dish starts off with a mingling of onions, fresh garlic, fresh grated ginger, and crisp celery. I simply added in ripe tomatoes, butternut squash and Sprouts Organic Red Enchilada Sauce into the onions-celery mix and tossed it into the oven. I pulled it out of the oven after 5 minutes, broke some eggs into little “nests” that I made with the back of a spoon, and then sent it back into the oven till the eggs were set.
My daughter and I ate part of this Easy Butternut Squash Enchilada Shakshuka with spoons and then we broke out those Sprouts Ancient Grains Chips and used them to scoop up the bits left on our plates. This was two servings for us, but, if you are super hungry or find Sprouts Organic Red Enchilada Sauce totally irresistible, this pan might just be two servings for one or one serving for two.
Happy FriYAY y’all! I hope your weekend is filled with something wonderfully delicious ~ like this Butternut Squash Enchilada Shakshuka! 😛

I’ve never heard of shakshuka before, but this recipe sounds awesome! And that red enchilada sauce…slightly smoky, you say? Sign me up for a jar, or a case! 🙂 I’m all about fun dip ideas, and I love how you and Lil Shashi just dug straight into this shakshuka with some chips. Yum! And the egg nest idea is totally cool, too. I really enjoy stopping by and reading your posts, Shashi. I always learn something new!
The Sprouts Organic Red Enchilada Sauce looks so nice!
I’m thinking to buy one for trying this recipe!!
Believe it or not, I’ve been thinking of Shakshuka this week – haven’t had any for a long time. So, I’ll consider this post as a sign 🙂 Love the addition of butternut squash; interesting touch.
This looks incredible – I love a shakshuka and I love that this only needs just 8 ingredients!
Such a yummy meal! Wish I could get some butternut squashes now… you just have me long for autumn in spring!!
Omg this looks to die for, I can’t wait to try it!
Oh this looks delicious ! We have Shakshuka every now and then, but I am looking forward to trying your recipe, especially since you have butternut squash added !
Shakshuka is one of my favorite thing to eat for dinner, and I make it quite a lot (2-3 times a week!). I always make the traditional recipe with bell peppers and tomatoes, but this shakshuka sounds amazing and so unique with the butternut squash I simply have to try your recipe soon!
That all sounds and looks delicious, shakshouka is a firm favourite in these parts… Never tried it with squash though, another recipe to add to the must make list!
Shakshuka is one of my favs and then making it Mexican style I am all over this. Need to visit you or otherwise I will have too cook this dish at home soon! You have so many lovely recipes.
