Servings: 8people
Ingredients
2lbsSweet potatoespeeled and chopped into 1-inch cubes
½Medium yellow oniondiced
1Bell pepperany color, diced
15-ozcan Black beansdrained and rinsed (I used low-sodium)
1cupCornfresh or canned/drained
4Yellow corn tortillaschopped into triangles
2tbspTaco seasoning
10-ozcan Mild red enchilada sauce
1 ½cupsFat-free shredded cheesemozzarella
4tbspChopped cilantro for garnish
Optional toppings: diced avocadosalsa, sour cream, etc.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Combine the sweet potatoes, onions, bell peppers, beans, corn, and taco seasoning in a large bowl. Fold the mixture to disperse the seasoning evenly.
Add the chopped corn tortillas, enchilada sauce, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix to combine and thoroughly coat everything with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9 x 13 or other large casserole dish or baking pan. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Gently mix the casserole to promote even cooking, being careful not to break up the tortillas too much.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Check the sweet potatoes with a fork to ensure they are fork-tender (if not, continue baking until they are).
Sprinkle on the remaining cheese and return to the oven just for a couple of minutes to melt it. Serve warm with preferred toppings and sides.
