Description

Creamy sweet potato enchiladas filled with black beans, enchilada sauce, and cheese, baked to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 400g), 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 the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Boil sweet potatoes in salted water for 10-15 minutes until tender, easily pierced with a fork.
  3. Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them lightly to create a creamy texture.
  4. Combine the mashed sweet potatoes, black beans, half the cheese, chili powder, cumin, and salt in a bowl, mixing well.
  5. Spoon the filling into each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the sweet potatoes to maintain a good texture. Ensure tortillas are warm and pliable before rolling.
