Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 15-oz can green chile enchilada sauce or 1 3/4 cups homemade green chile enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup red onion diced
  • 1 cup sweet potato chopped
  • 1 cup red bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup corn fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 15-oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend divided
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • salt to taste
  • 8 8-inch tortillas corn or flour — I used Mission Carb Balance flour tortillas
  • 1 handful cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • Add the sweet potatoes and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the red bell pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until slightly tender.
  • Add the black beans and corn, then stir to combine. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and salt and mix well.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheese and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until melted and combined. Remove from heat.
  • Spread 1/2 cup enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of the filling, spreading it down the center. Add a spoonful of enchilada sauce, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas until all filling is used. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
  • Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
