Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Drizzle potatoes with 1 Tbs of avocado oil and season with 1 tsp cumin, chili powder, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat.

Cook potatoes in oven for 25 minutes.

While potatoes are in the oven, heat a dutch oven or sauce pan on medium heat and add the remaining 1Tbs of avocado oil.
-
Add the julienned onions and green peppers stir occasionally for 5 minutes.
-
Next add the rinsed and drained black beans, 1 tsp of cumin, 1 tsp of garlic powder and 1 tsp of onion powder.

Cook for another 2 minutes and remove from pan. When potatoes are done remove pan from oven and add fajita veggies and black beans to the potatoes. Reserve on the side.

Lay out the tortillas and add about 2 Tbs of the filling (sweet potato, fajita veggies, and beans) to each tortilla.
-
Gently roll and place tortillas in the pyrex dish. Cover with sauce ( I saved a little extra). Then cover the pan with foil paper and bake for 30 minutes.
-
While enchiladas are baking time to make the crema Combine almond yogurt with 1/2 an avocado, the juice of 1 lime, 3-4 Tbs of water (Start with 3 however may need 4 if consistency is too thick) and salt and pepper to taste. Blend with an immersion blender.
-
Once enchiladas are done serve with extra sauce and top with avocado crema, sliced avocado cilantro, and more fresh squeezed lime.
