1 large sweet potato, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
2 (15.5 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 tablespoon lime juice, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin, or more to taste
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt to taste
3 cups enchilada sauce, divided
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add sweet potato, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the steamed sweet potato, black beans, green bell pepper, spinach, lime juice, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook until flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups enchilada sauce; cook until slightly absorbed, about 5 minutes more.
4
Spoon 1 to 2 cups enchilada mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish and about 1 cup into each tortilla. Arrange filled tortillas in the baking dish. Pour remaining 1 cup enchilada sauce over the tortillas.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is deep red and enchiladas are heated through, about 20 minutes.
