To make these enchiladas, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced fresh cilantro
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 1/2 cup enchilada sauce
- 4-6 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sweet potato and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it starts to soften. Add the black beans, red onion, red and green bell peppers, cilantro, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add the chopped chipotle peppers and enchilada sauce to the skillet and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
To assemble the enchiladas, spoon the sweet potato and black bean mixture onto each tortilla and roll up tightly. Place the enchiladas seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour any remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
