- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spread cubed sweet potatoes on sheet pans in one even layer.
- Bake sweet potatoes for 15-20 minutes, until soft. Remove from oven.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, sweat the onions, green peppers and garlic with the vegetable broth in steamer or tilt skillet until onions are translucent.
- Add the black beans, pinto beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin, and baked sweet potatoes to the onion mixture. Mix thoroughly and allow the mixture to simmer or steam for another 10-15 minutes.
- To assemble: Lay tortillas on parchment paper on work surface. Spread ¾ cup of bean filling in the center of each tortilla. Fold each end in and roll to seal. Place in 2 inch steam table pan either lined with parchment paper or no stick cooking spray. Continue until all enchiladas are filled.
