  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and cube the potatoes and cook in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Add mashed potatoes, black beans, corn, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper to the skillet. Mix thoroughly over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

  5. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over tortillas, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove foil for the last 5 minutes.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes, serve warm with cilantro and avocado.
