Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and corn.
