Who this list is for
This list is for home cooks planning a meatless Mexican dinner for four. If you want to make sweet potato enfrijoladas with black bean sauce, this checklist keeps you organized. It’s especially helpful if you’re new to enfrijoladas or want to avoid missing key toppings and sides.
How to use this list
Start by checking your pantry for canned black beans, olive oil, kosher salt, and corn tortillas. Next, look for fresh produce: sweet potatoes, white onion, garlic cloves, red cabbage, and limes. Pick up chipotle peppers in adobo, Mexican crema, and queso fresco from the refrigerated or international foods aisle. Use this list as you shop, and gather everything before prepping. Roast the sweet potatoes first, then blend the black bean sauce with chipotle, onion, garlic, and broth. Warm the tortillas, dip them in the sauce, and fill with sweet potato. Top with crema, queso fresco, cabbage, and a squeeze of lime.
Common mistakes
Don’t skip roasting the sweet potatoes—they need to be soft and caramelized. Avoid using flour tortillas; stick with corn for authentic texture. Make sure to buy enough tortillas (16 for four people). Some forget the chipotle in adobo, which adds needed depth to the sauce. Don’t substitute sour cream for Mexican crema unless necessary; the flavor is different.
