Ingredients

Instructions
Creating Enchilada Stuffed Sweet Potatoes at home can be simple and rewarding. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Prick them multiple times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
3. Bake Sweet Potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until tender. You can test doneness by inserting a fork; it should slide in easily.
4. Make the Filling: While the sweet potatoes are baking, combine the black beans, corn, and enchilada sauce in a bowl. Mix until fully combined.
5. Assemble: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked and cool enough to handle, slice them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create space for the filling.
6. Stuff the Sweet Potatoes: Fill each sweet potato half with the enchilada filling mixture. Overfill a bit, as the filling will settle.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the filled sweet potatoes.
8. Melt Cheese: Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, and add desired toppings like avocado, sour cream, or cilantro before serving.
