Description

Warm, comforting enchiladas filled with tender roasted sweet potatoes and hearty black beans, rolled in corn tortillas and baked in rich enchilada sauce with melted cheese for a satisfying, crowd-pleasing meal.


Ingredients

  • Sweet potatoes, 2 medium (about 500 g), peeled and diced
  • Black beans, 2 cups, cooked or canned, drained and rinsed
  • Olive oil, 2 tablespoons
  • Onion, 1 medium, finely chopped
  • Garlic, 3 cloves, minced
  • Ground cumin, 1 teaspoon
  • Chili powder, 1 teaspoon
  • Salt, 1 teaspoon
  • Corn tortillas, 10 small
  • Enchilada sauce, 2 cups
  • Shredded cheese, 1 ½ cups
  • Fresh cilantro, ¼ cup, chopped


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then roast for about 25 minutes until tender.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil until soft, then add garlic, cumin, and chili powder.
  4. Add the roasted sweet potatoes and black beans to the skillet and stir until well combined.
  5. Spoon the filling into the corn tortillas, roll them up, and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  7. Bake for about 20 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  8. Remove from the oven, let rest briefly, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Warm the tortillas before filling to prevent cracking.
  • For extra flavor, taste the filling and adjust seasoning before assembling.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day.
