How to Make: Sweet Potato & Black Bean Enchilada Skillet
The Sauce
I’ve included a recipe for enchilada sauce in the recipe because I’m not impressed with the limited gluten free options we have at our local grocery store. That being said feel free to use store bought if you want to cut down on time and ingredients needed.
If you do choose to make your sauce from scratch it’s an easy enough process and only adds another 10 minutes to your cooking time. Making it yourself also allows you to choose your preferred level of spice (depending on how spicy your chilli powder is). Altogether it’s super easy with a few basic ingredients & spices that you probably already have on hand.
The Skillet
Start out by sautéing your onion and garlic for a few minutes and until soft and fragrant. Add the sweet potatoes and chipotle paste and cook for about 10 minutes or so to soften the sweet potatoes. If your pan starts to look a little dry add a little bit of water to the pan to create steam to help the potatoes soften.
Stir in your spices followed by the black beans, enchilada sauce and corn tortilla strips and mix well until everything is fully combined. Finally just sprinkle the cheese over the top and then place under the broiler for up to five minutes to melt the cheese and you’re all set!
Serve this along side some cilantro lime cauliflower rice for an even more veggie packed meal and top of with homemade guacamole and tortilla chips for good measure and you’re in for a good night!
Enjoy!

I made this for my family this evening and they absolutely loved it ! Is it possible to freeze this at any stage of the recipe?
Hi Emma! So glad you enjoyed it!
I haven’t tried freezing this yet but I do think you’d be able to freeze the beans and sweet potato enchilada mixture before adding the cheese and the corn tortillas. After you thaw you should be able to warm it back up add the remaining ingredients pretty easily!
