Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
-
In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.
-
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
-
Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Remove the skillet from heat.
-
To assemble the enchiladas, spread a small amount of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the greased baking dish.
-
Warm the corn tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Place a spoonful of the sweet potato and black bean mixture in the center of each tortilla, roll it up tightly, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
-
Once all the tortillas are filled and rolled, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, making sure to cover all the enchiladas.
-
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
-
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the cheese to brown slightly.
-
Once done, remove from the oven and let the enchiladas cool slightly before serving.
-
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
