Directions

  1. 1

    Scrub and prick the sweet potato all over with a fork and cook in the microwave on full power (800W) for 10 minutes, or until cooked through.Meanwhile, trim the spring onions, slice off the green tops and set aside for later. Deseed and quarter the pepper, peel and finely slice 2 cloves of garlic.Put 1 whole spring onion and 1 piece of pepper aside for later, then blister and char the rest in a large dry non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat, adding the frozen sweetcorn after 2 minutes. Add the garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the smoked paprika, tossing regularly. Once the garlic is golden, remove the contents of the pan to a board and quickly wipe out the pan.Drain the black beans (saving a splash of juice for later), then tip them into the dry hot pan and leave them to pop and go crispy, it should take about 5 minutes.Roughly chop the sweet potato and add to the charred veg, chopping and mixing as you go. Drizzle over 1 tablespoon of oil and mix in most of the popped beans (saving a small handful for later), then season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper.Divide the filling between the tortillas, then roll up into thin cigars, placing into an oiled snug-fitting baking dish (roughly 30cm x 20cm), with the scruffy ends tucked underneath.Preheat the grill to high. Peel and finely grate the remaining garlic clove into a bowl, tip in the tomatoes, add a small pinch of salt and pepper and use a fork to mix it up, squashing the tomatoes to create a simple sauce. Pour it over the tortillas, along with a splash of the reserved bean juice. Finely grate over the cheese and grill for 5 minutes, or until golden and crispy.Meanwhile, finely slice the reserved green spring onion, finely slice the pepper and place in a bowl. Season with a small pinch of salt and pepper, add 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar and toss together with the reserved crispy beans. Ripple a good few shakes of chilli sauce through the yoghurt.Serve the enchiladas with the salsa and a dollop of yoghurt – delicious!.

About this Recipe

Looking for a vibrant, flavorful weeknight meal that's packed with goodness? My veggie enchiladas are a total joy to make and eat, bringing beautiful vegetables, color, and satisfying flavor to your table.

What sets these enchiladas apart is the generous blend of fresh vegetables like sweet potato, red pepper, and spring onions, complemented by the smoky depth of paprika and hearty black beans. Every bite promises a delightful mix of textures and savory notes, all wrapped up in a comforting tortilla. The combination of sweet and savory elements creates a deeply satisfying experience.

Prepare for a comforting and rich dish that's bursting with the natural sweetness of roasted sweet potato and sweetcorn, balanced by the tang of chopped tomatoes and a hint of red wine vinegar. The creamy natural yoghurt and melted mature cheddar cheese create a luscious, indulgent finish. This vegetable-forward meal is designed to be full of color and flavor, perfect for a cozy dinner that feels both wholesome and satisfying.

You can easily tailor these veggie enchiladas to your taste. Consider adding different vegetables like spinach or zucchini for extra greens. For an extra kick, a dash more chilli sauce, or even some chopped jalapeños mixed into the filling, is always welcome. If you prefer a dairy-free option, plant-based cheese and yogurt substitutes can be used for a similar creamy texture.

These enchiladas make a fantastic main course for a family dinner or a casual gathering. Serve them hot, perhaps with a little extra chilli sauce on the side for those who like more heat, and a dollop of extra natural yogurt to cool things down.
