Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas with Homemade Sriracha Sauce & Creamed Cashew Corn Compote

Confession: I don’t really know what compote is, but I had already used the “sauce” term in the recipe so I needed a different phrase.

However you spell it…this dish is AWESOME.

It’s kinda time consuming to make, but pretty simple and made with minimal ingredients when you really think about it. I would add some kale or spinach into the mix too, if you wanted! The black bean and sweet potato combo is always a favorite of mine, and these enchiladas turned out super yummy and very pretty, if I do say so myself.
