1. PREP: Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray. Be generous! Alternatively, use a liner for the pan.
2. BUTTERNUT SQUASH: Prep the butternut squash by peeling, removing the seeds and cutting into small 1/2-inch cubes. (It is important the cubes are small so everything will cook in time.) Add cubes to the prepared slow cooker.
3. SLOW COOKER: Add in the corn, black beans, rinsed quinoa (I rinse it in a fine-mesh sieve), minced garlic, tomatoes, optional jalapeño, enchilada sauce, the vegetable or chicken stock/broth, and the packet of taco seasoning.
4. COOK: Give everything a really good stir, cover and cook on high for 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours (4 hours is perfect in my slow cooker) or until the quinoa is cooked through (it has "popped") and the butternut squash is tender. Remove the lid and stir everything together really well. It's a bit soupy here, but the quinoa continues to absorb the liquid, so keep the slow cooker uncovered and switch heat to low. Let stand, stirring occasionally, for 15-25 minutes or until most of the liquid has absorbed. This is the perfect time to assemble toppings and whip up a side dish if you'd like.
