Instructions

Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and Papa Joe's Salt.
  • Spread the sweet potatoes evenly over your prepared sheet pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and tender.

Enchilada Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, combine the jar of salsa verde, sour cream, and Papa Joe's Salt.
  • Warm over low heat for 5-7 minutes, until warmed through. Remove from heat and reserve until you are ready to layer the enchiladas.

Black Beans

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, cilantro, lime juice, and Papa Joe's Salt. Reserve for layering the enchiladas.

Assembling the Enchiladas

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Spread ¼ of the enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking pan. Layer 2 tortillas, tearing to create one entire layer of tortillas. Spread ½ of the black bean mixture and ½ of the sweet potatoes evenly over the tortillas. Top with ⅓ of the mexican blend cheese and ½ of the feta cheese. Spoon ¼ of the enchilada sauce evenly over the cheese. 
  • Top with 2 more tortillas, torn to cover the entire layer below. Spread with ½ of the black beans, ½ of the sweet potatoes, ⅓ of the mexican blend cheese, ½ of feta and then ¼ of the encilada sauce.
  • Top with 2 more tortillas, torn to cover the layer below. Spread with final ¼ of the enchilada sauce and sprinkle with the remaining ⅓ of the mexican blend cheese. 
  • Bake the finished dish at 350° for 30 minutes. Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes to brown the top of the enchiladas. 
  • Remove enchiladas from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Serve enchiladas with sour cream, guacamole, and and sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro.
