CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO ENCHILADA CASSEROLE



Chicken and Sweet Potato Enchilada Casserole image

Enchiladas are typically made from rolled up tortillas, but in this gluten-free, grain-free version, we're using spiralized sweet potatoes in layers, to make a lasagna-style enchilada casserole. Who doesn't love lasagna and enchiladas? This dish is packed with veggies and protein and saves well for meal prep and leftovers. The layers of enchilada sauce, sweet potato, spinach, black beans and chicken are delicious and make for a healthy weeknight meal. Depending on how you slice the casserole, you can make 6 giant slices or 12 slices. I recommend making 12 and serving with a yummy side salad or veggie, like some corn or string beans.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Cooking spray, for the dish
1/4 cup avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1 pint (16 ounces) tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled
Two 15-ounce cans black beans, rinsed
2 cups shredded chicken breasts (from a rotisserie chicken)
3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
4 cups baby spinach
Sliced avocado, for serving (about 1 avocado)
Small handful fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Prepare the enchilada sauce. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the arrowroot powder and whisk until combined, about 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce, broth, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and salt to taste.
  • Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the enchilada sauce cooks, spiralize the sweet potatoes. Trim the ends, then slice halfway through the sweet potatoes lengthwise, careful not to pierce through the center. Spiralize to yield chip slices. Set aside.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange a third of the sweet potato slices in a single layer, overlapping slightly to cover up any little gaps. Sprinkle half of the beans, half of the chicken, 1 cup of the cheese, half of the spinach and 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly over the sweet potato slices. Repeat, starting with a third of the sweet potato slices, then the remaining beans and chicken, 1 cup of the cheese, the remaining spinach and 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce. Finish the casserole with the remaining sweet potatoes slices and spread the remaining enchilada sauce over top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake the casserole for 40 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese. Bake until the cheese melts and the casserole bubbles, about 5 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes, then top with the avocado and cilantro before serving.

QUICK AND EASY GREEN CHILI-POTATO ENCHILADA CASSEROLE #5FIX



Quick and Easy Green Chili-Potato Enchilada Casserole #5FIX image

5-Ingredient Fix Contest Entry. I have a large family, (12 of us) and I buy the large bags of tortilla chips from a grocery warehouse. We always had a fourth of a bag left because by then they would be all crushed and the kids wouldn't eat them. One day my husband gave me a challenge to try to come up with some way to use the crushed chips, at the same time one of my grandsons decided he was going vegetarian. So I took it on as a double challenge and also decided I could only use what I had on hand. This is how the recipe was born. Ingredients can be adjusted to fit whatever size casserole dish you might want to use. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a side of mexican rice (optional) I make it in a large alluminum tray (20 3/4"L x 12 13/16"W x 3 3/8"D) the qty of the ingredients are for this pan but can be adjusted for any size casserole pan.

1 sweet potato, peeled and cut in 1/2 inch cubes
1 tablespoon water
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 flour tortillas, 8 inch size
2 cups cheddar cheese, 8 oz., shredded

Steps:

Tips:

  • Potato Selection: Opt for russet potatoes, known for their fluffy texture and ability to hold their shape well during cooking.
  • Perfect Timing: Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still slightly firm, as they will continue to soften during assembly and baking.
  • Seasoning Symphony: Don't shy away from adding flavorful seasonings to the potatoes before mashing. A blend of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin can elevate their taste.
  • Creamy Mash: Use a potato ricer to achieve a smooth and creamy mashed potato texture. This tool helps remove any lumps and ensures an even consistency.
  • Cheese Harmony: Experiment with different types of cheese for the filling. A combination of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack cheeses creates a delightful blend of flavors.
  • Savory Salsa: Opt for a flavorful enchilada sauce or salsa that complements the potato and cheese filling. Taste and adjust the spiciness level to your preference.
