Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced sweet potatoes in olive oil until they are slightly tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Add the red bell pepper, onion, garlic, and diced green chilies to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the flavors to meld.

  4. Stir in the black beans, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing well to ensure all the ingredients are combined and seasoned evenly. Remove the skillet from heat.

  5. To assemble the enchiladas, spoon a generous amount of the sweet potato and bean mixture onto a flour tortilla, sprinkle with a handful of shredded cheese, and roll it tightly. Place the filled tortilla seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  6. Pour the enchilada sauce over the assembled enchiladas, making sure they are evenly coated.

  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the enchiladas.

  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, allowing the enchiladas to heat through and the cheese to melt.

  9. Remove the foil and let the enchiladas bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden brown.

  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot, with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
