Ingredients

2 cups leftover shredded beef roast
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese leave 1/2 cup for topping
1 small yellow onion chopped
1 sweet potato diced and roasted
2 tbsp olive oil
salt
1 tbsp chili powder
¼ tbsp garlic powder
½ tbsp ground cumin
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
8 flour tortillas
1 batch Chipotle Enchilada Sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish or pan with cooking spray.
Saute the chopped onion and the diced sweet potato in olive oil with a pinch of salt. Once they start getting soft add in the chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin. Remove from heat and let cool 10-15 minutes.
In a large bowl combine the shredded beef, the sweet potato onion mixture, black beans, and a cup and a half of cheese.
Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.
Fill each tortilla with the beef mixture, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle the remaining half cup of cheese in an even layer over the sauce. Cover the dish with tin foil.
Bake the enchiladas, covered, for 15 minutes. Uncover them and bake them for 10 minutes longer. Let stand 5 minutes serve and enjoy!

Notes

If you want the extra wow factor once enchiladas are cooked garnish the top with crema, pico de gallo, cilantro, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, or even slices of lime... just have fun with it!
