Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas with Avocado Lime Crema

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Add diced sweet potatoes and drizzle with olive oil; add spices and salt on top, then give the sweet potatoes a toss so that they are evenly coated with olive oil and spices. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are fork tender.

Step 2

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, make the enchiladas sauce: Heat oil in a medium pot over medium high heat. Add in onions and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes or until onions become translucent.

Step 3

Add in chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and stir for 30 seconds to allow the spices to cook a bit. Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, water and apple cider vinegar then bring to a boil.

Step 4

Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.

Step 5

Keep heat in oven once sweet potatoes are done cooking. Add sweet potatoes to a large bowl and mix with black beans, corn and 1/4 cup enchilada sauce.

Step 6

Spray a 9x11 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray, add 1/4 cup enchilada sauce to bottom of the pan and spread evenly.

Step 7

Take a tortilla then fill with 1/3 cup of mixture, 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese and 1 tablespoon of enchilada sauce. Roll the tortilla up and place seam side down in the pan.

Step 8

Repeat with each tortilla and place tightly next to each other. Pour remaining enchilada sauce then cheese on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Step 9

While the enchiladas are baking, you can make the avocado lime crema. In a blender or food processor, add the avocado, greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a tablespoon or two of water to thin out if necessary.

Step 10

Once enchiladas are done baking, drizzle or spread the avocado lime crema on top. Garnish with extra cilantro and hot sauce, if desired. Makes 8 enchiladas total; serving size 2 enchiladas per person.
