Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the diced sweet potato with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, and salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
- In a bowl, combine the roasted sweet potato, black beans, cilantro, red onion, and lime juice. Mix well.
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. You can do this by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds, or by warming them gently in a dry skillet.
- Spoon the sweet potato and black bean mixture into the center of each tortilla and roll them up.
- Pour about half of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sweet potato mixture.
- Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, avocado, or extra cilantro.
- If you prefer a different cheese, cheddar or a Mexican blend works well too.
