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 9×11 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

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pre-roast Sweet Potatoes for Concentrated Flavor 🔥
Roast your sweet potatoes at 400°F until caramelized (not just steamed) to develop deep, complex sweetness that elevates the entire dish and prevents watery filling.
Toast Your Spices in the Bean Mixture 🌶️
Bloom the cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before mixing with beans to unlock their volatile oils and dramatically intensify the filling's flavor profile.
Strain Black Beans Thoroughly 💧
Rinse and fully drain your black beans to remove excess liquid that can make the filling soggy and weigh down the tortillas during baking.
Layer Sauce Strategically for Even Coverage 🧅
Spread a thin sauce layer on the baking dish bottom and tops of rolled enchiladas (not inside filling) to prevent sogginess while ensuring every bite has sauce when serving.
Warm Tortillas Before Rolling 🌯
Steam or microwave flour tortillas for 30 seconds wrapped in a damp cloth to make them pliable and prevent cracking or tearing during the rolling process.
