Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9x13 baking dish.
2
Place chopped sweet potatoes into a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes. As the sweet potatoes cook, sauté the red onion and jalapeño in a small skillet.
3
Once cooked, combine sweet potato, red onion, jalapeño, black beans, and spices in a large bowl. Mix then taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
4
Pour one cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Heat up each of the tortillas, so they are easier to work with.
5
To assemble, divide the mixture evenly between each tortilla. Roll together tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
6
Once all of the enchiladas are in the dish, top with remaining sauce and dairy-free cheese.
7
Bake for 25 minutes then serve warm, topped with avocado.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pre-roast Sweet Potatoes for Deeper Flavor 🍠Roast diced sweet potatoes at 425°F for 15-20 minutes before filling enchiladas to caramelize their natural sugars and intensify their sweetness, creating better texture contrast with the black beans.
- Toast Spices Dry for Maximum Potency 🌶️Toast chili powder and cumin in a dry pan for 30-45 seconds before mixing into your filling to unlock their essential oils and dramatically enhance the depth of your enchilada flavors.
- Warm Tortillas Properly to Prevent Cracking 🌯Steam tortillas wrapped in a damp kitchen towel for 2 minutes before filling, making them pliable enough to roll without cracking and ensuring they won't dry out during baking.
- Layer Sauce Strategically for Even Moisture 🍲Apply a thin layer of enchilada sauce to the bottom of your baking dish first, then between each enchilada layer, and reserve the top coat for the final 5 minutes of baking to prevent soggy bottoms while keeping tops moist.
- Add Fresh Jalapeño and Avocado Post-Bake ✨Slice fresh jalapeños and avocado only after the enchiladas finish baking to preserve their vibrant flavors, bright color, and creamy texture rather than cooking them into submission.
