Description

Hearty and comforting enchiladas filled with creamy sweet potatoes and protein-packed black beans, topped with melted cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 6 large corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Boil the cubed sweet potatoes in salted water for about 10-15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and mash lightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, black beans, half of the shredded cheese, chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Spoon the filling into each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes

Choose firm sweet potatoes and use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option. Customize with additional vegetables or spices for a personalized touch.
