Time 1h10m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup red enchilada sauce, homemade or canned, recipe follows
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
2 1/2 cups sweet potatoes (about 1 large), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
One 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles, such as Rotel
1 1/2 cups canned reduced-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, plus more for garnishing
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 medium low-carb whole-wheat flour tortillas, such as La Tortilla Factory
2 cups reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese
Reduced-fat sour cream, for serving, optional
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 to 3 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put 1/4 cup red enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the garlic, onions and jalapeño and cook until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the cubed sweet potatoes, diced tomatoes, black beans, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper to taste and 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Place a generous 1/3 cup filling in the center of each tortilla, roll up and place in the baking dish seam-side down.
  • Top with the remaining 3/4 cup enchilada sauce and the cheese. Bake, covered with foil, until the enchiladas are hot and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Top with more cilantro and serve with sour cream if desired.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add the oil and saute the garlic until it is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato sauce, chicken broth, chile powder, cumin, chipotle chiles and some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, for 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.

Number Of Ingredients 23

ENCHILADA SAUCE
21/4 cups vegetable broth
1/3 cup tomato paste
21/2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
11/2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon lime juice
FILLING
1 large sweet potato (about 1 pound), chopped into nickel-size pieces*
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 medium yellow squash, grated on your box grater (about 1 cup)
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
11/2 cups cooked black beans**
1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave syrup
A pack of corn or flour tortillas
Sliced avocado
Chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Make the enchilada sauce: Dump all but lime juice into a medium saucepan and bring to simmer. Use a whisk. Let simmer together for 10 to 15 minutes until sauce thickens. Add lime juice and turn off heat. Let cool. To cook sweet potato, fill medium saucepan with an inch or two of water, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Throw in metal steamer basket and fill that with the chopped sweet potato. Cover and steam until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Dump in a bowl and smash the pieces around. Some chunks are fine. While the sweet potato steams, heat the oil over medium heat in large saucepan. Add the onion and sauté; until it begins to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss in squash and cook for another min. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic, and black beans. Cook together for another 2 minutes then fold in the mashed sweet potato and maple syrup and turn off the heat. Mix until combined. Now you’re going to make the enchiladas. Oven to 375F. Cover the bottom of 9 x 13-inch baking dish with about 11/2 cups of enchilada sauce. Using a griddle, your oven, or the microwave, warm up the tortillas. Dip a tortilla around in a little of the sauce in the baking dish so that the bottom is all coated. Fill the tortilla with a couple spoonfuls of filling, then roll it up and set it seam-side down in the dish. Keep going until you run out of space or filling. Cover the enchiladas with remaining sauce, cover the dish tightly with foil; put in oven for 20 min. Remove foil and cook for 5 more min. Let it cool for a min or two before serving. Top with sliced avocado or chopped cilantro. * You really just need 1 large cooked sweet potato. If you have a leftover roasted sweet potato or something, just scoop out the flesh and move on with the recipe. Or steam it in the microwave if that is your shit: Stab it with a fork, then cook on high for 5 minutes, flip, then 5 minutes more ** Or one 15-ounce can
