Description

A hearty and comforting dish made with sweet potatoes and black beans, wrapped in corn tortillas and topped with enchilada sauce and cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained (or 1.5 cups cooked)
  • 1012 corn tortillas
  • Enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or vegan cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Cumin and smoked paprika to taste
  • Cilantro and lime for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sauté the chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat until translucent. Add garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika, stirring until fragrant.
  3. Toss in the sweet potatoes, adding a splash of water if needed. Cover and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Mix in the black beans and adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of your baking dish.
  6. Scoop about ¼ cup of the sweet potato mixture onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  7. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with cheese.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime before serving.

Notes

For the best results, warm your tortillas before filling them to prevent cracking.
