Title: Smoky Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas
Ingredients:
– 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn kernels
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 small red onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 ½ cups enchilada sauce
– 10 small corn tortillas
– 1 cup vegan shredded cheese
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, garlic, red onion, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add sweet potatoes to the skillet along with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are soft.
4. Stir in the black beans and corn, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to heat through. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
5. Pour about ½ cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of the greased baking dish.
6. Place a scoop of the sweet potato and bean mixture down the center of a tortilla, roll it tightly, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
7. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are all evenly coated. Sprinkle vegan shredded cheese on top.
8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Serve the Smoky Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
