Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas are a vibrant and nutritious dish, featuring creamy sweet potatoes and hearty black beans wrapped in soft tortillas, topped with zesty enchilada sauce and melted cheese.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 500g)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 8 whole wheat or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into cubes. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth; set aside.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  4. In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, black beans, sautéed onions and garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of an oven-safe dish. Fill each tortilla with the sweet potato mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  6. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider roasting the sweet potatoes before mashing.
  •  Swap black beans for pinto beans or use dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
  •  Add diced jalapeños for extra heat if desired.
