Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Black beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 8 small Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 3 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
Lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) once the sweet potatoes are done.
Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or springform pan.
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce at the bottom of the dish.
Place 2 corn tortillas on top of the sauce, slightly overlapping to cover the surface.
Add a layer of roasted sweet potato slices, followed by a layer of black beans, a drizzle of enchilada sauce, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Repeat the layers (tortilla, sweet potato, beans, sauce, cheese) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of tortillas topped with sauce and cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the enchilada stack cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side, if desired.
