- Baking sheet
- Large skillet
- 9x11 baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 cup chopped red onion about 1 small red onion
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 1 1/2 cups chopped zucchini about 1 small zucchini
- 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 teaspoons cumin

- 2 10 oz cans enchilada sauce
- 1 cup reduced fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
To Garnish

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the sweet potatoes to a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Toss to coat the potatoes in oil and bake for 20-25 minutes or until fork tender. Set aside but leave the oven on.
- In a skillet over medium high heat, add the other 1 tablespoon olive oil, onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Saute for 7-8 minutes to soften the veggies. Stir in the cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook for another minute. Transfer to a bowl and stir in ¼ cup enchilada sauce, canned black beans, sweet potatoes, and ½ cup of cheese.
- Wrap tortillas in a damp cloth towel and microwave for 1 minute, flipping halfway through, to soften them.
- Pour about ½ cup of the enchilada sauce into the baking dish and spread out to coat.
- Add ⅓ cup filling to each tortilla and roll. Place seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Once all the tortillas are rolled, drizzle remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and then top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before adding desired toppings and serving.
