Directions
- In a small bowl, mix in the flour, spices and cocoa and mix till well combined.
- In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, add oil and the flour/spice mixture. While whisking constantly, cook until fragrant and slightly deepened in color, about 1 minute. Whisk the tomato paste and slowly pour in the broth while whisking constantly to remove any lumps.
- Raise heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Cook, whisking often, for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. (The sauce will thicken some more as it cools.)
- Remove from heat, and season to taste with a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Add more salt, if necessary (I usually add another pinch or two).
- Enchilada Instructions Preheat oven to 400˚F(205˚C) with one rack in the middle of the oven and one in the upper third. Lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until simmering. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are tender and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add bell pepper and sweet potatoes, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 to 9 minutes until potatoes soften.
- Add the cumin, cinnamon, black bean, rice and corn to the pot and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Salt to taste
- Assembling the Enchiladas Pour ¼ cup enchilada sauce into your prepared pan and tilt it from side to side until the bottom of the pan is evenly coated. To assemble your enchiladas, spread ½ cup filling down the middle of a tortilla, then tightly roll it placing it seam side down. Repeat till baking dish is full. You should fit approximately 8-9 the rest you’ll need another baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce, leaving the tips of the enchiladas bare. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly.
- Bake, uncovered, on the middle rack for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let the enchiladas rest for 10 minutes. For serving, sprinkle chopped cilantro, cracked pepper, chili flakes and drizzle the coriander mayo all over.
