Equipment

  • 1 large pot
  • 1 baking dish (9x13 inch)
  • 1 mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes About 1.5 lbs.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion Diced.
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 can black beans 15 oz, drained and rinsed.
  • 1 cup corn Frozen or canned.
  • 1 small red bell pepper Diced.
  • 8 pieces corn tortillas
  • 1 can enchilada sauce 15 oz, store-bought or homemade.
  • 1 avocado diced For topping.
  • to taste salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and boil for about 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain and mash the sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder to the skillet, and cook for an additional minute.
  • Add the black beans, corn, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine the mashed sweet potatoes with the bean mixture, stirring until well mixed.
  • Spread a small amount of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • Heat the corn tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Fill each tortilla with the sweet potato mixture and roll them up tightly. Place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until heated through and bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Top with diced avocado and fresh cilantro before serving.
