Ingredients

• 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 medium zucchini, diced
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 2 cups enchilada sauce
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

How to Make Vegetable Enchiladas

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the diced sweet potatoes for about 10 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
3. In the same pot, add the diced zucchini and cook for another 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain and combine with the sweet potatoes.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, zucchini, black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. Spread 1 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
6. Take one tortilla and fill it with about ¼ cup of the vegetable mixture. Roll it up and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
7. Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your sweet potatoes are diced evenly for consistent cooking.
• Use a mix of corn and black beans for extra texture and flavor.
• If you like a spicier kick, add some diced jalapeños to the filling.
• For a creamier texture, mix a bit of cream cheese into the filling.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the sweet potatoes with butternut squash for a different flavor.
• Add spinach or kale for an extra dose of greens.
• Swap black beans for pinto beans or chickpeas.
• Use different cheese varieties like pepper jack for added spice.

What to Serve With It

• A side salad with avocado and lime dressing.
• Mexican rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
• Fresh guacamole and tortilla chips.
• A refreshing salsa or pico de gallo.
