Cheesy Vegetarian Enchiladas perfectly combines all the classics like beans and corn but has the surprisingly delicious addition of sweet potatoes! I topped mine with more cilantro, chopped red onion, and avocado slices. I served it with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream on the side. Add tortilla chips for the perfect crunch element!
