I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover roasted sweet potatoes. I had been craving enchiladas, but I didn't want to make the traditional meat-filled version. I decided to try using the sweet potatoes as a filling instead, and the results were amazing! The sweet potatoes added a unique flavor and texture to the enchiladas, and the black beans made them a hearty and filling meal. I've been making these enchiladas ever since, and they've become a favorite of my family and friends.
