Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a skillet set over medium-high heat, saute onion and garlic in olive oil. Cook for three minutes, then add spices and cook another two minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Add sweet potatoes, half the cheese and black beans and stir to combine. (You can add a pinch of salt here. I didn't.)

Spray a rectangular casserole pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place about 1/2 cup of vegetables on half of each tortilla, then place in casserole dish and fold the top over. Mix salsa and sour cream, then pour over the enchiladas, then sprinkle on the cheese.

Bake for 25 minutes covered, then remove lid for remaining 5 minutes to allow cheese to fully melt.

     ASHSV123: they are "better for you" enchiladas & there is nothing wrong with trying to make mexican food healthy. I'm mexican & I change up my mexican recipes to make them healthier as well. besides isn't that why we come on this website anyway. - 3/29/12

     This is amazing! We are confirmed non-vegetarians in my house and we LOVED this! Added a can of southwest corn to the veggies and wound up layering it lasagna-style since we had so much of the veggie filling. Delicious and so satisfying! We will be making again and again. - 3/9/12

     These were sooooo good! I made them last night almost following the recipe exactly except that I couldn't find corn tortillas so I used whole grain corn and jalapeno tortillas. All I can say is Yum! I think next time I will add some corn for added texture and flavour but it was delicious as is! - 8/20/10

     Very easy & my boyfriend & I really enjoyed it. I agree with the previous comment, corn is a must. I also added cilantro with the spinach. Added water with sweet potatoes until they were moist. Stacking may be better than individual enchiladas as the corn tortillas tend to fall apart after cooking - 6/26/11

     I made this tonight and it was a huge hit. I used whole wheat tortillas and Newman's Own Peach Salsa. The spices were delicious and mild. Next time I might add a little cayenne to add some heat. - 5/9/11

     Instead of corn tortillas, I used carb-balanced tortillas to cut calories & carbs! The recipe was good, but I'm used to more flavorful food. Thank you for the recipe though!!! - 8/17/12

     Wasn't too hard to make, but still took a little longer to prep than I could handle on a typical weeknight. A good Saturday or Sunday recipe for full time working moms. I don't usually have a dinner without meat and this was not bad at all. We did fear what the fiber would do to us, but not bad. - 1/13/12

     This was good but WHAT A MESS!! The corn toritllas kept breaking apart and this ended up becoming a sloppy casserole. You can't beat the flavor, though. It was very good. I used part kale and part spinach to add more vitamins. I'd make it again...maybe substituting the corn tortillas for a soft type - 6/3/15

     If ever any Spark recipe deserved the "Incredible" rating, this is it. These enchiladas are a snap to put together and the pay off is awesome. I've never used the sour cream + salsa mixture before and I was so pleased with the results. I think I'm going to try other enchiladas with the topping. - 2/8/14

     Really tasty! I added sweet corn and instead of just salsa I did half fire roasted enchilada sauce/ half corn salsa. It was awesome! - 7/10/13

     I made this recipe for my family that I assist. One is vegetarian, another is gluten free. It is a challenge. Everyone loved this recipe. I will definitely keep this in my line-up. I did layer the dish as I was short on time. I used a peach salsa as one reviewer mentioned. Delicious. - 1/10/13

     Good stuff. I use low carb tortillas. If you have a problem with the tortillas breaking, just steam them briefly or heat them in the microwave, to soften them. - 11/18/12

     Very good - I didn't want to turn on the oven in July, so I cooked the sweet potatoes with the onions, like another sparker suggested. Then I rolled a couple up, microwaved them with the sauce on, and enjoyed. Forgot to add the cheese - didn't even notice. - 7/5/14

     Carbs count is too high for DH (diabetic). But blanched leaves - either outer leaves from one of the cabbages, or even Chinese cabbage or romaine lettuce.
    Black beans? Is that peas, or is it some kind of bean (I'm in Scotland).
    Sounds like a great way to use up odds and ends, or left-overs. - 9/14/12

     This was fantastic! My husband loved it as well, so hard to believe it is as healthy as it is! It's a keeper, will definitely make again. I didn't have low fat cheese so my calories were a bit higher, otherwise made exactly to recipe. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm - 11/17/13

     Being a diabetic, the carbs are a lttle high for me, but the combination looks interesting. I'm going to make it for two of my adult children for a different kind of meal! I know my daughter will love it since she avoids eating meat!! - 9/12/12

     this is such an awful way to make 'enchiladas', these are not even close to what they are supposed to be made, no offense but this is NOT mexican food, not even close.
