Sweet Potato Enchiladas with Black Beans
Ingredients
- 2 medium (160g) sweet potatoes
- 1 15-oz. Can of enchilada sauce, divided
- 1 15-oz. Add black beans without salt, rinse and drain
- 1 10-oz. Pack the frozen spinach, defrost and squeeze to remove the liquid
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork, then microwave them until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Spread 2 tablespoons enchilada sauce lightly over the bottom of a large baking dish to prevent sticking.
Peel the cooked sweet potatoes, cut them into 1cm cubes and then place them in a large bowl. Add black beans, well-drained spinach, salsa, cumin and 2 tablespoons enchilada sauce and stir until evenly combined.
Warm the tortillas so they are soft and pliable by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for 30-45 seconds. Working at a time, place about 1/2 to 3/4 cup filling in the center of each tortilla, roll up tightly, and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas and top with the grated cheddar cheese. Bake until filling is heated through and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
