Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas Gluten Free Fabuloso
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, sweet potatoes are the talk of the town in Foodieville. The debate typically constellates around the mini marshmallow issue. Or orange juice vs cider issue. But for yours truly in Gluten-Free Land, sweet potatoes are best served spicy. Tucked into enchiladas with tender black beans and a roasted green chile sauce.
This budget-friendly vegetarian enchilada recipe is one of those happy accidents that spring from a burst of creative inspiration. I was craving the soft and spicy comfort of enchiladas one windy spring night back in 2003, and I had none of the usual suspects on hand (no chicken, or beef, no pinto beans).
But I had one lovely mother of a sweet potato.
I had a can of organic black beans in the pantry.
Some roasted green chiles.
One lonely lime.
And your intrepid Mamacita at large thought, Hmmm. Why not?
Deliciousness ensued.
These wrapped little gems are soft and creamy and a little bit spicy- just like a certain cook, my point-scoring husband wisecracks. It's the yams, I tell him. Er, sweet potato. I can never tell the difference. In the end, it doesn't matter.
What matters is how it tastes.
And Babycakes, these are so very mucho scrumptious. Seriously. I kid you not. Make a batch for a girls' night in, or a laid back Sunday brunch.
Or dazzle a vegetarian on Thanksgiving day.
