🍠 Sweet Potato Benefits

Sweet potatoes are not only rich in fiber, but are also excellent sources of vitamin A and beta-carotene. Vitamin A helps regenerate collagen, which in turn keeps your skin looking smooth. The fiber in sweet potatoes helps keep you full for longer, but can also help manage blood sugar levels.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add sweet potatoes, chicken, black beans, corn, salt, and pepper to a medium mixing bowl. Toss mixture together.
Grease a 9-inch baking dish with a tablespoon of olive oil. Spoon 1 cup of salsa Verde into the bottom of the dish.
Layer 3 tortillas, ½ of the sweet potato, bean, and corn mixture, then 1 cup of salsa into the dish. Repeat the layering with remaining tortillas, salsa, pico, and top with shredded cheese.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until bubbling and golden brown all around the edges.
Serve immediately and top with pico, guacamole, and cilantro if desired, or you can serve this chicken enchilada casserole simply as is.
