Equipment

  • 3-qt. baking dish or 9x13" casserole dish

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz. sweet potato (peeled and shredded, about 1 medium)
  • 15 oz. black beans (1 can, drained and rinsed)
  • 20 corn tortillas (6" size)
  • 20 oz. red enchilada sauce
  • 8 oz. sharp cheddar (shredded)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin (ground)
  • 1 tbsp. chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • cilantro, lime wedges, sour cream, or guacamole for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 3-qt. baking dish (or a 9x13x2" pan).
  • Steam the shredded sweet potato in a covered microwaveable bowl for 3 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the cover from the sweet potato and stir in the black beans, cumin, chili powder, and salt.
  • Add a small amount of sauce to the bottom of the baking dish and rotate the dish to cover the bottom with sauce.
  • Create a layer of 5 tortillas over the sauce, tearing the tortillas to get full coverage. Add ⅓ of the bean mixture, ¼ of the cheese, and ¼ of the remaining sauce over the tortillas.
  • Repeat the layer in step 5 two more times for a total of three layers.
  • Cover the enchiladas with the last 5 tortillas. Add the remaining sauce to the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
  • Cool the enchiladas for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish as desired with guacamole, sour cream, lime, and cilantro.
