Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 3 minutes. Mix in squash mixture and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tortilla at a time on a non-stick skillet about 10 seconds aside, then place 1 heaping tablespoon squash mixture down center of each tortilla. Top with about 2 teaspoons of cheese. Roll up tortillas. Arrange seam side down in a glass baking dish. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead; covered and chilled.) Pour enchilada sauce over enchiladas and bake at 350u00b0F for about 20 minutes or until the enchiladas are heated through and bubbly. While they bake, prepare the Black Bean Sauce.

5
Transfer 1 cup of the bean mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the pureed beans back into the skillet, then simmer for 2 minutes until heated through. If the sauce becomes too thick, thin with water.
