Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or sautéing oil of choice
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 1 15- oz. can of organic black beans ,rinsed and drained.
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper ,or to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese ,optional
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon of Smoked Chipotle OR Tabasco Sauce (Tabasco brand)
  • 3 medium sized organic sweet potatoes ,cubed but not peeled
  • 4 12- inch soft tortillas
  • 1 jar or can of prepared enchilada sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet and sauté onion and garlic until soft.
  • Place the beans, onion and garlic mixture, water, cumin, red pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika, and chipotle sauce into your power blender (such as a Blendtec or Vitamix), secure lid and blend on high (about 30-45 seconds) until chunky. Blend longer for a puree (depending on how you like it, I prefer a little chew). Use a tamper if needed.
  • Pour mixture into a separate container and rinse bender jar.
  • Boil the sweet potato pieces in four cups of water until soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the sweet potato cubes and place in a blender container. Process for 30 seconds on high, using the tamper if needed, until you have a "mostly smooth" mixture.
  • Divide bean mixture and mashed sweet potatoes evenly between the tortillas. If you are adding cheese, add within each tortilla before folding, saving 1/3 of the cheese for sprinkling over the top.
  • Fold tortillas burrito-style around the fillings and place in a parchment lined baking pan.
  • Top with a jar or can of enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with cheese if using.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until warmed through, about 20 minutes, until bubbly.

Notes

1. Easily make this recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free tortillas and a gluten-free enchilada sauce.
2. Give the recipe some crunch by adding bell peppers, corn, or other veggies to the filling and then top it off with some cilantro!
