{Sweet Potato Enchilada Skillet}

**Update!!  I originally posted this recipe back in March but I have to say that this is one of my favorite recipes!  I love rolling the enchilada filling up in tortillas, scooping it up with chips or just eating it plain!  It is delicious and I know you will love it! 


One pan, loaded with veggies, and packed with flavor.  Just a few of the things I love about this Sweet Potato Enchilada Skillet!  


Other things I love about this Sweet Potato Enchilada Skillet... the leftovers make great breakfasts or lunches.  Yes, I said breakfast... think breakfast burrito filling!


But I still think my favorite thing about Sweet Potato Enchilada skillet has to be the whole one pan thing!  I am a sucker for one pan meals.  One pan meals means less clean up for me and that is a huge win in my book!  And lets just say that with the wedding being a week away the less time I can spend in the kitchen cooking and cleaning the better!  I have last minute wedding details to attend to!
