Ingredients
4 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed to create a sweet, savory base
1 tablespoon of olive oil for a golden, crispy touch
1 small onion, diced to add a flavor-rich dimension
2 cloves of garlic, minced for a burst of aromatic delight
1 red bell pepper, diced for a vibrant color and taste
1 can (15 oz) of black beans, rinsed and drained to infuse protein and earthiness
1 can (10 oz) of enchilada sauce for an authentic, mouthwatering experience
1 teaspoon of ground cumin for a warm, aromatic essence
1/2 teaspoon of chili powder for a hint of spice
Salt and pepper to taste, elevating every flavor
8 small flour tortillas for a perfect wrap
1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend) for a creamy, cheesy finish
Optional toppings: chopped fresh cilantro, diced avocado, sour cream to customize your enchiladas.
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to create that perfect baked texture. Spread your sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet, drizzle them with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, allowing the sweet potatoes to caramelize to perfection.
2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté them until they turn translucent (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
3
Stir in the roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Allow the flavors to meld for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
4
Begin with a canvas of flavor by pouring about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of your chosen baking dish.
5
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds, making them pliable for your culinary masterpiece. Spoon a generous portion of the sweet potato and black bean mixture, I also like adding rice too, onto each tortilla, roll them up like a pro, and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
6
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Sprinkle your choice of shredded cheese on top, watch it melt and become wonderfully bubbly.
7
Cover your baking dish with foil, then bake for about 20 minutes. Afterward, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until your cheese reaches the perfect level of gooey goodness.
8
Take your enchiladas out of the oven, let them cool for a bit, and serve them with optional toppings such as chopped fresh cilantro, diced avocado, and sour cream. Enjoy the culinary masterpiece you've just created!
