• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chili powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 cup enchilada sauce
• 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
3. Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook until slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cooked black beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften.
5. Spoon a generous amount of the sweet potato and black bean filling onto each tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in the greased baking dish.
6. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, covering them completely. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
