[quote=Anonymous]Thanks!  I don't have ANY casserole dishes, but a great easy dish that everyone who has ever had it loves is sweet potato "enchiladas"

6-8 Tortillas
1 can sweet potato puree (Trader Joe's has it at certain times of the year) or butternut squash puree (potato is better) OR leftover mashed sweet potatoes
1 extra large can of black beans, rinsed and drained
mexican blend cheese (optional)
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 C. chopped pepper of your choice (can go sweet or bell, less if it's a hot pepper)
1 T. garlic, minced
2 T. cumin
2 T. salt

*You will need a casserole dish that is wide enough for the tortillas to go across horizontally but short enough to keep the enchiladas tight.  9x13 is usually too big, so closer to a 9x9 or 2qt. pyrex dish.

Saute in olive oil, the peppers, onion and garlic until softened but not brown.  Add the black beans, cumin and salt.  If the mixture is dry (usually is) add about 1/4 C. of water and cook until beans are heated through and water evaporates.

Take your tortillas and spoon a generous heap of the sweet potato puree in the middle, then spoon the black bean mixture on top, roll up the tortilla and place in casserole dish.  Do this with all the tortillas until the black bean mixture is used up.  Don't put too much of the black bean mix in the tortilla, usually two big spoonfuls is good.  I can make anywhere from 4 fat enchiladas to 8 skinny ones depending on the size of my crowd.  I assume each person will have 1 1/2-2.

Once all of the enchiladas are in the pan - spread any left over sweet potato on top and sprinkle with cheese if desired.  If you don't have left over potato, that's fine, just cheese works or plain is also fine.

Bake in the oven at 350 for about 20 min.  These will be super hot when they come out so let them sit before serving.
