Description

These vegan enchiladas are packed with flavor and are also hearty enough to satisfy even the hungriest “meat-eater.” Don’t believe me? Ask my husband. He and his friend John were patting their bellies last night after eating two enchiladas, telling me how good they were and how they couldn’t believe they were full from eating vegetables. (Recipe adapted from Vegan Planet)

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Large Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • ½ whole Red Onion
  • 1 whole Roasted Green Chile, Diced (or One 4 Ounce Can Diced Green Chiles)
  • 1 whole Large Tomato (or One 14 Oz. Can Diced Tomatoes)
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Rinsed
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • 2 cups Salsa
  • 8 whole Flour Tortillas

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Peel your sweet potatoes, and chop them into 1-inch chunks. Spread them out on ungreased cookie sheets in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Chop up your garlic, red onion, green chiles and tomatoes.

After 20 minutes, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees.

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, add the garlic and green chiles and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the black beans, tomatoes, chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir in the roasted sweet potatoes and let everything cook together for about 5 minutes.

While the filling is on the stove, prepare a 9×13 glass dish by spraying lightly with olive oil spray, and coating the bottom with a light layer of salsa. Grab your tortillas (I like to buy tortillas made locally because they are fresh and with fewer ingredients than most store brands) and set up a filling station. Place a spoonful of filling into the middle of each tortilla, roll it up and place it seam-side down in your dish. Repeat until there are eight enchiladas in your pan. Spoon any extra filling over the top. Add the remaining salsa and the chopped red onion to the top of the enchiladas. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

I really enjoyed them but I also put cheese and sour cream on top so I cannot rate them just based on the recipe itself.

These were delicious! I did add cheese on top, but I add cheese to everything. My husband even really enjoyed them and he is a meat and potatoes guy. I didn’t tell him they were vegetarian and he admitted he couldn’t tell. Great recipe – thanks!

Excellent flavor! But you gotta really like sweet potatoes to like this… we’re not big fans so I would substitute something in their place next time. But a great recipe – thanks!

So great! My hubs even stated with his mouth full, “This is pretty good!” I enjoyed mine wrapped in iceberg lettuce. Thanks for the recipe! ;)

Really great alternative to your average enchiladas. I used normal enchilada sauce instead of salsa and added cheese. Also, we don’t like raw onion so I sauteed them with the garlic & chilies. We really enjoyed these, and even my 21 month old ate it! Thanks for the wonderful idea and recipe.
