1Sweet Potatoes
2Place your large sweet potato (with peel on) on a plate with some water and microwave on the highest setting for 8-10 minutes. Let it cool down. Then, peel and cut into cubes.

4Spray an 8"x8" baking dish with olive oil. Preheat the oven to 400F.
5In a large bowl, combine diced sweet potato, black beans, chopped tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
6Spread 1/2 cup of salsa on the bottom of the baking dish. Then, cover it with a layer of tortilla. Tear it apart so it nicely fits on top.
7Add about 2/3 of the mixture of sweet potato on top of the tortillas, and level it out so it's well spread over.
8Add the remaining 1/2 cup salsa on top of the layer and spread it around.
9Now, cover with a layer of tortillas and add the rest of the sweet potato mixture. Level it out and sprinkle it over with cheddar cheese.
10Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the casserole is slightly golden brown on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
11Serve with mashed avocado, sour cream and additional salsa.
