Ingredients

  • 2 large baked sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mexican blend cheese
  • 1 12-ounce can enchilada sauce
  • 6 large flour tortillas, or 12 corn tortillas

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Poke the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on a foil lined baking sheet in the oven until fork tender, about 1 hour. Turn the oven down to 350°F.
  • Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then slice down the middle and scoop out all the pulp into a bowl.
  • To the sweet potato pulp, add the garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, black beans, and 1 cup of cheese. Stir to thoroughly combine.
  • Pour half of the enchilada sauce into a 9x11 baking dish.
  • Place about 1/2 cup mixture into the middle of each tortilla and roll up.
  • Place the enchiladas, seam side down, into the baking dish. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce on top.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove foil and sprinkle with cheese and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is melted and browned slightly

Notes

  • Meal Prep the Sweet Potatoes: The sweet potatoes can be baked up to 2 days ahead of time and the pulp removed and stored in the fridge.
  • Warm the Tortillas: If using corn tortillas, warm them up to make them easier to roll without cracking.
  • Add Toppings: Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, Guacamole or a drizzle of sour cream for extra flavor.
  • Adjust Spice Level: Customize the spice level by using mild or spicy enchilada sauce or adding a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
