How To Make sweet potato enchiladas with roasted pepper sauce
-
Step 1To make the sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the poblano peppers, jalapeno pepper, onion, and garlic cloves on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and add salt. Roast until charred, flipping the peppers halfway through. Roast about 20 minutes.
-
Step 2Meanwhile, make the pickled red onion. In a saucepan add the vinegar, water, sugar and salt and cook until the salt and sugar are dissolved.
-
Step 3Add the red onion slices and place them in the fridge.
-
Step 4Remove the items from the oven and place the poblano in a paper bag; close the bag, let it steam for about 10 minutes.
-
Step 5Then remove the skin, stem, and seeds.
-
Step 6Place in a food processor and add the remaining ingredients for the sauce, and blitz until smooth. Taste and adjust for salt. Set aside.
-
Step 7Cook the filling: Add the olive oil to a large skillet. Add the sweet potato, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and corn to the skillet and sauté for 10 minutes.
-
Step 8Stir in the remaining ingredients and 1/2 cup of the poblano sauce. Cook 2 minutes and remove from heat.
-
Step 9Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Get a 9x13 baking dish. Add 1 cup of sauce to the bottom of the pan.
-
Step 10Dip each corn tortilla in the sauce. Place 6 on the bottom of the pan. They will overlap.
-
Step 11Place 1/2 of the filling over the tortillas.
-
Step 12Add 1/3 of each of the cheeses.
-
Step 13Then another row of dipped tortillas.
-
Step 14Then the rest of the filling and 1/3 of the cheeses. Add the final row of the dipped tortillas and the remaining sauce. Top with the remaining cheese.
