This Black Bean and Sweet Potato Enchilada Bake recipe is sponsored by Bush’s Beans.

A few years ago, I discovered how well black beans and sweet potatoes go together. There have been plenty of times since that discovery where I have served myself roasted sweet potato halves or rounds topped with leftover black beans on a plate for a simple, yet filling, vegetarian lunch or dinner. There’s such a good sweet and savory balance that comes from the pairing, and it’s fun to experiment with it too. And not to mention, Bush’s black beans and sweet potatoes are pretty much healthy staples in my kitchen so it’s not hard to include them in everyday recipes.

This recipe for Roasted Veggie and Black Bean Burritos are what started it all, though it’s been a while since I’ve made them. They are actually what inspired this enchilada bake. I have been wanting to make the burritos but was looking for something I could prepare ahead of time and easily throw in to the oven at dinner time. I guess I could have probably still done that, but then I wouldn’t have this new recipe to share with you, would I? 😉

Don’t be intimidated by the list of ingredients. Most of it goes into a roasting pan all at once and you can even cook it up ahead of time like I did. Having my go-to enchilada sauce recipe ready to defrost in the freezer is a huge help – if you haven’t tried it yet, please do!

If you’re looking for a good meatless dinner option try this one out!

Enjoy!
