Ingredients:
- 1.50 Pound sweet potatoes
- 2.00 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1.50 Teaspoon chili powder
- 1.00 Teaspoon ground cumin
- 2.00 Can black beans
- 10.00 Piece corn tortillas

- 0.25 Cup cilantro
- 1.00 Tablespoon lime juice

Instructions:
- Heat the oven to 425 F. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
- Roast on a sheet pan for 22 to 24 minutes, until browned and tender.
- Reduce the oven to 375 F. Spread 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in a baking dish.
- Layer half the tortillas, half the beans, half the sweet potatoes, 3/4 cup cheese, and 1 cup sauce.

- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until bubbling. Rest 10 minutes.

- Use a sauce you like because it seasons the whole dish.
- Leftovers reheat best covered, then uncovered for the last few minutes.
