Ingredients

Scale

Filling:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • 2 cups diced sweet potato (½-inch cubes)

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 2 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp coriander

  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

  • 2 cans (15oz) black beans, rinsed

  • ½ cup chopped cilantro

Assembly:

  • 16 corn or flour tortillas (8-inch)

  • 4 cups enchilada sauce

  • 3 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)

Garnishes (optional):

  • Avocado, sour cream, pickled onions, lime wedges


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two 9×13″ baking dishes.

  2. Make filling:

    • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, bell pepper, and sweet potato with salt for 8-10 mins until softened.

    • Stir in spices and corn; cook 2 mins more.

    • Remove from heat. Mix in beans and cilantro.

  3. Assemble enchiladas:

    • Spread ½ cup sauce in each baking dish.

    • Warm tortillas slightly (microwave 30 secs wrapped in a damp towel).

    • Fill each tortilla with ⅓ cup filling + sprinkle of cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in dishes.

  4. Bake:

    • Top with remaining sauce and cheese.

    • Cover with foil; bake 20 mins. Uncover and bake 10 more mins until bubbly.

  5. Rest 5 mins before serving with garnishes.

Notes

✅ Warm tortillas first to prevent cracking
✅ Use freshly grated cheese for best meltiness
✅ Make ahead: Assemble unbaked enchiladas and refrigerate overnight
