Ingredients
  

For Enchiladas

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 batch homemade red enchilada sauce
  • 2 sweet potatoes peeled and chopped into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

  • 10-12 large flour tortillas or whole wheat
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • fresh cilantro chopped, for topping
  • 1 avocado peeled, seeded and chopped, for topping

Instructions
 

  • Add the chopped sweet potato to a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, until they begin to get tender.
  • Add 1 tsp minced garlic. Add chopped bell pepper, onions, and black beans and toss to combine. Cook for a few more minutes, until sweet potatoes are completely tender.

  • Pour sauce over the enchiladas (you may not need to use all of it, depending on how much sauce you like). Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20-30 minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped avocado and cilantro.
