Sorry the picture quality is terrible. We were too hungry to find good lighting.
- 1 can reduced sodium black beans
- 1 sweet potato, microwaved
- diced peppers, onions
- tomato-based salsa of some kind
- 15.5 oz crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
- whole-wheat or corn small tortillas
- chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano or enchilada seasoning (if you can find it w/o tons of salt)
- optional toppings: can diced green chiles, a few olives, nutritional yeast “cheese” sauce
This is one of those random-crap-on-hand sort of recipes. Rather than make your own enchilada sauce you can of course buy it…usually has a ton of sodium, though. If you DO wanna make your own:
- In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes, about 1/4 cup of salsa, and 1-2 tablespoons of chili powder.
- Simmer on low for about 20 minutes. That’s it.
To assemble enchiladas:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine black beans, onions, and diced peppers. Season with enchilada seasoning, or with cumin, oregano, and paprika to taste …you can saute if you like or leave raw – they will cook a bit in the oven.
- In a small rectangular baking dish – about 9 by 12ish – spread about 1/3 of the enchilada sauce on the bottom.
- On each tortilla, spread some of your cooked sweet potato down the center and top with black bean mixture. Roll up and place in the baking dish – repeat til filled.
- Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top. You can also top with a small can of diced green chiles, some sliced black olives, or even – as pictured – some nutritional yeast “cheese” sauce. I normally don’t bother with the sauce and it’s fine but if you’re so inclined it’s basically just about 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast, simmered on low and whisked together with water (to desired thickness), garlic, mustard (powdered spice, not prepared), turmeric, and a little optional salt.

Made these with slight variations. I made my own beans, now I have some for later :-)
I made the sweet potatoes and put some cinnimon in them. I mixed the black beans in with the mashed sweet potatoes. I made my own enchilada sauce. Lots of spice. I also added just a little Paul Newmans Mango Salsa to the top. A little vegan cheese. Really tasty, but I wouldn't want to eat them often with all the carbs LOL. Great dish, thanks!
how long do you bake these at 375 degrees?
Great post!
This looks to be a great weight gainer!
Thanks,
Forget about the quality of the photo, the dish is mouthwatering.Yumm
