Sweet Potato & Black Bean Enchiladas

sweet-potato-black-bean-enchiladas

By now you probably know that I love sweet potatoes and black beans! These vegetarian enchiladas are filled with so many delicious flavours that if you’re a meat eater I promise you won’t miss the meat.

This healthy Mexican inspired meal has become a regular feature in my house. It’s comfort food that leaves your body feeling energised and nourished.

They have the perfect amount of spice, just enough to give them a little kick. They are topped with coriander, spring onions and avocado. I love how fresh and bright this makes them.

    I made these last night and they were such a hit. I also made a yoghurt crema to accompany them which went really well. Highly recommend this recipe.
