Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put 1/4 cup red enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the garlic, onions and jalapeño and cook until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cubed sweet potatoes, diced tomatoes, black beans, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper to taste and 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Place a generous 1/3 cup filling in the center of each tortilla, roll up and place in the baking dish seam-side down.
- Top with the remaining 3/4 cup enchilada sauce and the cheese. Bake, covered with foil, until the enchiladas are hot and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Top with more cilantro and serve with sour cream if desired.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add the oil and saute the garlic until it is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato sauce, chicken broth, chile powder, cumin, chipotle chiles and some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, for 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
BLACK BEAN & SWEET POTATO ENCHILADAS
Yummy! Adapted from "Vegan Planet," this recipe is something my non-vegetarian hubby requests regularly. Roasting the sweet potatoes is absolutely the key to this recipe - I've cooked them other ways before and it turns out much less flavorful. It looks like a lot of ingredients, but it goes together quickly and makes great left overs too! In the future, I plan to try substituting homemade enchilada sauce for the salsa and more tomatoes. **Update: as some of the reviewers have noted, the cayenne pepper makes this a pretty spicy number! You may want to add less if you don't like the heat.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F Arrange diced sweet potatoes on a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper (to taste). Roast for approximately 30-40 minutes or until tender. When potatoes are finished, reduce heat to 350°F.
- While the potatoes are roasting, heat 1 tbs olive oil in a large skillet. Add garlic, chilies, yellow onion, and green pepper until it begins to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Add cumin and cayenne; cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
- Add black beans, tomatoes, and chili powder to the skillet. Simmer over low heat until the sweet potatoes have finished, allowing the mixture to cook down a bit. Once the sweet potatoes are out of the oven, add them to the black bean mixture and allow them to cook for 5 more minutes.
- Lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish and spread a thin layer of salsa on the bottom.
- Place a tortilla onto a flat work surface. Spoon a portion of the sweet potato/black bean mixture down the center; roll up the tortilla and place into baking dish. Continue until all tortillas are filled.
- Spoon any remaining sweet potato/black bean mixture on top of the tortillas. Top with remaining salsa, cheese, and minced red onion. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned.
SWEET POTATO, SQUASH, AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS
Steps:
- Make the enchilada sauce: Dump all but lime juice into a medium saucepan and bring to simmer. Use a whisk. Let simmer together for 10 to 15 minutes until sauce thickens. Add lime juice and turn off heat. Let cool. To cook sweet potato, fill medium saucepan with an inch or two of water, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Throw in metal steamer basket and fill that with the chopped sweet potato. Cover and steam until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Dump in a bowl and smash the pieces around. Some chunks are fine. While the sweet potato steams, heat the oil over medium heat in large saucepan. Add the onion and sauté; until it begins to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss in squash and cook for another min. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic, and black beans. Cook together for another 2 minutes then fold in the mashed sweet potato and maple syrup and turn off the heat. Mix until combined. Now youâre going to make the enchiladas. Oven to 375F. Cover the bottom of 9 x 13-inch baking dish with about 11/2 cups of enchilada sauce. Using a griddle, your oven, or the microwave, warm up the tortillas. Dip a tortilla around in a little of the sauce in the baking dish so that the bottom is all coated. Fill the tortilla with a couple spoonfuls of filling, then roll it up and set it seam-side down in the dish. Keep going until you run out of space or filling. Cover the enchiladas with remaining sauce, cover the dish tightly with foil; put in oven for 20 min. Remove foil and cook for 5 more min. Let it cool for a min or two before serving. Top with sliced avocado or chopped cilantro. * You really just need 1 large cooked sweet potato. If you have a leftover roasted sweet potato or something, just scoop out the flesh and move on with the recipe. Or steam it in the microwave if that is your shit: Stab it with a fork, then cook on high for 5 minutes, flip, then 5 minutes more ** Or one 15-ounce can
