Sweet potato/Black bean Enchiladas

I am not sure if I got this recipe from Lisa, but it's yummy and wanted to post it.

Sauce:
1 cup water
1 T starch
1 can roasted gr chiles-I used hot, and they were spicy!!
2-4 cloves garlic
1 t cumin or chili powder

Enchilada Filling:
1st bowl:
1 can black beans
4 cloves garlic
1 fresh lime juiced

2nd Bowl:
2 Diced Cooked Sweet Potatoes
1 can mild gr chiles
1/2 t gr cumin
1/2 t chili powder
Salt & pepper to taste
2 T cilantro

Additional Ingredients:
Tortilla & Cheese

Heat the enchilada sauce in a skillet until slightly thickened & boil the sweet potatoes until soft. Put a little sauce in the bottom of pan & stuff tortillas w/ potato mixture & black bean mixture. Top the tortillas with remaining sauce & cheese (if desired). Really yummy w/ Tofutti Sour Cream & a sliced avocado!

Risotto

This is my Great Grandma's recipe. Very yummy & simple.

2 c Risotto Rice-uncooked
2 cans of chicken broth-I use the organic boxes of chicken broth
1 small can tomato paste
1 celery stick-chopped
1 medium carrot-chopped
2 T yellow onion
2 T olive oil
1 lb of ground meat if you choose

Heat chicken broth in a pot on medium heat. In a separate pot saute the celery, carrot, onion, (i also use garlic) in the olive oil. Brown the meat. Add the tomato paste & rice. Stirring constantly add the chicken broth one ladle full at a time to rice mixture. Wait until the broth is absorbed until you add the next ladle full. When the rice is cooked & soft you are done...
