  3. Drain and rinse your black beans, and add them to the veggies.
  4. Shred the cheese.
  5. Once everything is prepared, begin to assemble!
  6. Start by adding a very thin layer of enchilada sauce to the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish.
  7. Next, place a layer of sweet potatoes, allowing them to overlap a bit.
  8. After the taters comes the chicken (use 1/2 of the total amount)
  9. Add a layer of the veggie/bean mixture (again, use 1/2)
  10. Now add 1/2 the remaining amount of enchilada sauce.
  11. Finally, a hefty sprinkle of cheese.
  12. Then start back at the beginning! Layer sweet potatoes, remaining chicken, veggies, sauce, and cheese.
  13. Bake in the oven at 350ยบ for 35-40 minutes.
