6-8 small tortillas (choose whatever kind you like- white, corn, grain-free, etc.
FILLING
1 tablespoon oil
½ onion, diced
1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
Salt + pepper to taste
2 cups of chopped kale or spinach
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained (low sodium)
½ cup cheddar cheese + ½ cup to sprinkle over top
¼ cup red enchilada sauce +¼ cup for the filling and the rest for the sauce topping
SAUCE
1 ¾ red enchilada sauce TOPPINGS:
Cilantro, avocado, jalapenos, sour cream
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C
Peel and cut the sweet potato into small chunks.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sweet potato cubes and onions, and stir every 2 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are nicely browned and fully cooked, and onions are tender. Add chopped kale to the pan and combine with the sweet potato. Cook, stirring frequently until the kale or spinach is softened, but still vibrant green (about 2 minutes). Then, add drained black beans, cheese and ¼ cup of the enchilada sauce to the pan and combine all ingredients well. Turn off the heat and set it aside.
Pour about one-third of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread to coat.
Take a tortilla and add some filling (about 3- 5 tablespoons). Gently roll and then place the open side down. Repeat until all 6-8 enchiladas are snug in the dish.
Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake at 350°F for 15-25 minutes or until warmed through. Optional: for additional browning, switch your oven to broil and broil for about 3-5 minutes or until browned on top with slightly crispy edges.
