- In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent.

- Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave or on a stovetop griddle until pliable.
- Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
- Place a spoonful of the sweet potato and bean mixture onto each tortilla, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are fully covered.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
