Black Bean and Sweet Potato Enchiladas

I know this sounds a little weird but it is very good and low in calories if you use low calorie torts like la factory tortillas i love them only 100 cals! i know the pumpkin pie spice sounds weird too but i didn't even taste it and it goes well with the sweet potatoes too.

  9. made my own version using butternut squash instead of sweet potato. cooked the squash with sauteed onions then let them simmer with a can of diced fire roasted tomatoes before adding the black beans. the cumin and pumpkin spice really brought the ingredients together. served with cheese and sour creme. amazing recipe!
