Sweet Potatoes: Grab 2 medium ones. We’re gonna give them a nice little spa treatment by boiling them until they’re just the right kind of tender.
Black Beans: A can of these beauties, drained and rinsed. They’re not just good for you, they’re good!
Red Bell Pepper and Onion: Chop ’em up! They’re about to add some serious color and crunch to our dish.
Garlic: Because let’s be honest, garlic makes everything better. Mince those two cloves like you mean it.
Cumin and Smoked Paprika: A teaspoon each, because we’re all about those smoky, earthy flavors.
Salt and Pepper: A sprinkle here, a dash there. You know how it goes.
Enchilada Sauce: Choose your favorite. We need 2 cups of this liquid gold.
Corn Tortillas: About 8-10. They’re the cozy blankets we’re going to wrap our filling in.
Vegan Cheese: Optional, but oh-so-recommended. It adds that gooey, cheesy bliss.
Cilantro and Avocado: Because we eat with our eyes first, and these guys make everything look gorgeous.
The Method to the Madness:
Preheat and Prep: Crank that oven to 375°F. It’s about to get hot in here.
Sweet Potato Party: Boil those diced sweet potatoes. You want them soft, but not falling apart – they’ve still got some partying to do.
The Flavor Dance: In a pan, get those onions and bell peppers sautéing. Once they’re getting soft, throw in the garlic, cumin, and paprika. It’s like a fiesta for your senses.
Mashup: Sweet potatoes, meet black beans. In the pan, let them get acquainted with the spices. It’s all about harmony.
Roll With It: This is where it gets fun. Grab a tortilla, spoon in the mix, roll it up, and into the baking dish it goes. Keep going till you’ve got a snug little row of deliciousness.
Saucy and Cheesy: Drench those rolls in enchilada sauce. If you’re a cheese lover, now’s the time to sprinkle that vegan cheese.
Bake and Anticipate: Into the oven for 20-25 minutes. This is the perfect time to clean up, or better yet, pour yourself a little drink.
Garnish Galore: Once out of the oven, let them cool a bit. Then go wild with cilantro and serve with avocado on the side.
The Best Part: Dig in! Every bite is a melody of flavors – it’s comfort food that doesn’t weigh you down.
