These Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas combine hearty roasted sweet potatoes and protein-rich black beans, wrapped in corn tortillas and baked with flavorful enchilada sauce for a wholesome and satisfying Mexican-inspired meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups red enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado slices, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, red onion, and half of the chopped cilantro. Mix gently.
  3. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of a baking dish.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Spoon the sweet potato and black bean mixture evenly onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam side down in the baking dish.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with remaining cilantro and serve with optional toppings like sour cream, avocado slices, and lime wedges.

Notes

For extra flavor, add chopped jalapeños to the filling or top with a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving.
