Mello puts these ingredients on one shopping list with the rest of your week, and anything two recipes share is added together. The list then goes to Sainsbury's in the UK or Careem Quik in the UAE.
Add to a shopping listHow the shopping list works →For the filling
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1cm cubes, toss with a little oil, and roast on a tray for 20 minutes, turning once, until soft and lightly caramelised.
- Step 2
Finely dice half the red onion and mince the garlic. In a bowl, mash about a third of the drained black beans with a fork, then mix with the remaining whole beans, roasted sweet potato, diced onion, garlic, cumin, and a pinch of salt.
For the sauce
- Step 1
In a saucepan, warm the tomato passata with the chipotle paste and smoked paprika over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring, until slightly thickened; season to taste.
- Step 2
Whisk the Greek yogurt with the juice of half the lime and a pinch of salt to make the crema; set aside in the fridge.
To assemble & bake
- Step 1
Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry pan or microwave to make them pliable, then divide the bean and sweet potato filling between the 4 tortillas and roll tightly.
- Step 2
Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in an ovenproof dish, pour over the chipotle sauce, and scatter with the grated cheddar.
- Step 3
Bake at 200°C for 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden at the edges.
- Step 4
Finish with a drizzle of lime crema, a squeeze of the remaining lime, and chopped fresh coriander before serving.
