Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas
1/2 cup minced red onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 poblano chile, seeded and chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ancho chile powder
8 corn tortillas
1 (15-oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups leftover roasted sweet potato, cubed (or 1 raw, peeled & diced)
2 ounces cream cheese
6-8 ounces pepper jack cheese, half cut into sticks, half grated
1 jar Trader Joe's enchilada sauce
Saute onion, garlic and poblano in a little oil until softened. Add spices.
Meanwhile, cook tortillas in a bit of oil for a few seconds on each side until coated and pliable. Set aside.
Add black beans and sweet potato to onion-chile mixture. When heated through, add cream cheese. Stir to melt and incorporate.
Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in bottom of 9x12 pan. Tilt to spread evenly.
Assemble tortillas: lay one stick of cheese lengthwise in a corn tortilla, top with filling, roll to seal, and place seam side down in prepared pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Top with remaining enchilada sauce.
Bake covered at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly. Top with shredded cheese and bake uncovered 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
