To make Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 red onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8-10 corn tortillas
- 1 cup of enchilada sauce
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly browned. Add the diced red onion and minced garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
Next, add the drained and rinsed black beans to the skillet, along with the ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are heated through.
To assemble the enchiladas, spoon a generous amount of the sweet potato and black bean mixture onto each corn tortilla, and roll them up tightly. Place the rolled-up tortillas seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour the enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas, making sure to cover them completely. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
Bake the Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot.
These Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas are a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors, with a slightly spicy kick from the chili powder and smoked paprika. The sweet potatoes add a natural sweetness to the dish, while the black beans provide a good source of protein and fiber. The enchilada sauce and melted cheese bring everything together for a delicious and satisfying meal.
