In a medium pot, add sweet potatoes, Bragg's or soy sauce and 1/4 c. cider vinegar.

In saucepan, sauté onion and garlic in oil. Add corn and spices. Add 1/4 c. apple cider vinegar and black beans. Cover and simmer on low while potatoes are cooking.


When sweet potatoes are cooked, drain the liquid into a container.

Mash potatoes leaving some lumps and adding some of the reserved liquid to make a creamy consistency. Fold in the black bean mixture, 1 c. cheese and half the cilantro.


Fill the tortillas with a generous amount of sweet potato filling and roll.

Place in the prepared baking dish.Spread salsa over each enchilada.

Top the enchiladas with remaining cheese and cilantro. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.


Tip: Serve with Greek yogurt or sour cream and extra salsa. Top with extra cilantro.
