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!
