Instructions

Toss the chopped sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large mixing bowl then arrange on a baking sheet. Roast at 400F for 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

As the sweet potatoes bake, heat a large skillet over medium heat and warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook until onion is soft and translucent and garlic is fragrant. Stir in the black beans, lime juice, and seasoning. Remove from heat and set aside. Once sweet potatoes are cooked, toss to combine.

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking oil and pour enough enchilada sauce into the bottom to lightly cover. Assemble the enchilada casserole by adding a single layer of tortillas to completely cover the bottom of the pan. You may have to cut the tortillas to make them fit in the dish.

Top with enchilada sauce then layer about ⅓ of the sweet potato bean mixture. Make a second layer of tortillas, enchilada sauce, and filling. Finally, repeat a third time.

Reduce the heat of the oven to 375F and bake casserole for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Precook Sweet Potatoes for Even Texture 🥔
Cut sweet potatoes into thin, uniform slices and lightly sauté them for 3-4 minutes before layering to ensure they cook through evenly and don't remain hard in the center.
Toast Your Spices for Deeper Flavor 🌶️
Bloom the chili powder, cumin, and paprika in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing into your enchilada sauce to release their essential oils and intensify the overall complexity.
Use Parchment Paper Under Tortilla Layers 📄
Place parchment between tortilla layers to prevent them from absorbing excess moisture and becoming soggy, while keeping them pliable for easier serving.
Let It Rest Before Serving ⏳
Allow the casserole to cool for 10-15 minutes after baking before cutting—this helps the layers set and makes portioning clean without the dish falling apart.
Create a Flavorful Bean Base 🫘
Sauté your black beans with minced garlic, onion, cumin, and lime juice for 3-5 minutes before layering to build a cohesive, deeply seasoned foundation throughout the casserole.
