This week I wanted to use up some of the produce I had and do some meal prepping since I knew I'd be busy. I rarely cook without a recipe, but I freestyled some black bean and sweet potato enchiladas with veggies from the farmers market, canned beans, and sweet potatoes that have been sitting on my counter for a while. They were surprisingly great, and I froze the leftover filling I had and plan to use it for nachos or tacos in the future.
