How to Make Sweet Potato And Black Bean Enchiladas

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Choose a baking dish that can comfortably hold 8-12 enchiladas.
  3. Make the enchilada sauce: In a saucepan, simmer 2 cloves minced garlic in 1 cup vegetable broth for 3-4 minutes. Add 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, and salt/pepper to taste. Simmer until slightly thickened (about 10-15 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  5. Set aside.
  6. While the sauce simmers, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) and 2 cloves minced garlic in 1/2 cup vegetable broth for about 4 minutes, until translucent.
  7. Add 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes, 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin. Heat through.
  8. Stir in 2 tablespoons lime juice.
  9. The mixture should be thick but not dry.
  10. Pour 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the baking dish.
  11. Lay a corn tortilla in the baking dish, brushing it with sauce.
  12. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the sweet potato and black bean mixture down the center of the tortilla.
  13. Roll the tortilla tightly and place seam-down in the baking dish.
  14. Repeat steps 11-13 with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  15. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas.
  16. Optionally, sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  17. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the sauce is bubbling.
  18. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
