Sweet Potato Enchilada Stack
We're a pretty boring bunch when it comes to food. Over the last six months, I've been trying to branch out and expand the range of foods and cuisines that we eat, so when I saw that Culinary Adventures with Camilla was hosting an enchilada event, I decided to join in.
Since I've never made them before, I chose a recipe from Taste of Home rather than trying to create one on my own. I love sweet potatoes and black beans are a recently discovered favorite, so this Sweet Potato Enchilada Stack was perfect. It called for a can of enchilada sauce, but once the amazing box of chiles arrived from our sponsor, Melissa's Produce, I knew I had to make it from scratch.
I googled lots and lots of recipes, and finally settled on this one from Mexican Food Journal. It was super easy to put together, and made the house smell amazing! I made some other very minor changes to the recipe. I like the low sodium black beans, and I used Multi Grain flour tortillas. I reduce the amount of ground beef to 3/4 of a pound, since I wasn't sure if my guys would even try it. This made 2 nice hearty layers.
I loved all the flavors and texture. It froze and reheated great, and made a perfect dinner with a mixed green salad. I'm so glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone and gave these a try! The Taste of Home Test Kitchen knocked it out of the park with this one. Thank you to Camilla for hosting, all of the other #FoodieExtravaganza friends for sharing their recipes, and to Melissa's Produce for their generousity. I'm definitely #CrazyforChiles now!
