- ½ teaspoon ground cumin

- Lightly oil a baking dish large enough to hold 8 enchiladas side by side.
- Place sweet potatoes, beans and corn, down the center of a tortilla, sprinkle the filling with 2 Tbs. of the cheese and 2 tablespoons of sauce. Roll up the tortilla and place it in the dish, seam side down. Repeat until you have formed all 8 enchiladas.
- Drizzle the reserved sauce over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake the enchiladas until the filling is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden, about 20 minutes. Carefully transfer 2 enchiladas to each of the 4 plates, garnish with and fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

I needed to use up a few ingredients that I had on hand before going shopping again. So, I ended up throwing together what might become a new favorite meal of mine. A delicious meatless enchilada!
Serve it with a green salad on the side and enjoy!

I have never had a meatless enchilada before but I know these would rock. Alexis would just go nuts for these because she loves sweet potatoes.
