Ingredients

1 large sweet potato
1 small onion
1 small sweet red pepper
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander

1 can (15 oz) black beans
1 can (15 oz) enchilada sauce

Steps

Heat the oven to 375 F and lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Pierce the sweet potato and microwave it for 6 to 8 minutes, turning halfway, until tender.
Dice the onion and pepper, then cook them in an oiled skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Peel and cube the sweet potato, then stir it into the skillet with the beans, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, coriander, pepper, and cilantro.
Spread a little enchilada sauce in the baking dish, fill and roll the tortillas, and place them seam-side down.
Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, cover them with cheese, and bake for 25 minutes.
