These delicious Sweet Potato Enchilada Bowls double as a quick dinner and a make ahead lunch!
Another day, another Mexican sweet potato recipe. I hope you all don’t mind because I could life off recipes like this!
I’ve had my spiralizer for a long time but just recently got really into using it. Now, I want to spiralize everything because vegetable noodles are just more fun to eat 🙂
But, don’t fear if you don’t own a spiralizer. These sweet potato enchilada bowls can easily be made with grated sweet potato rather than spiralized. If you’re in the market for a spiralizer, I love this one! You just need them thin enough to cook pretty quickly in a frying pan so you can get dinner on the table in 35 minutes!
I’ve been loving making recipes that double as quick and easy dinners and meal prep lunches. These Sweet Potato Enchilada Bowls do just that. You can either make this for your family dinner or make it and take it for lunches all week long.
Or, you can eat some for dinner and take the rest for lunches! Either way, if you love Mexican food as much as I do I think you’ll love these bowls 🙂

This recipe is amazing! I already made it twice , once with quinoa and once with rice! So delicious and my family loves it too!
Yah! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!
This is amazing for meal prep. It tastes fine fresh, but amazing as leftovers.
I’m so glad to hear you liked it!!
I just found your blog and tried this recipe with my wife. She is gf and vegan and yummm. I made some corn tortillas and we scooped the enchilada and rice into them with some guacamole. Thanks for sharing. delicious.
Awesome! I’m so glad you both enjoyed them! 🙂
This is such a fabulous idea Izzy. I’m sure the texture of the sweet potato noodles makes this extra delicious, and as you say, fun. Appreciate the option you give to grate it though, since I don’t use a spiralizer. So want to make this when the weather cools down!
Ironically the evenings turned cool late last week, so I used it as an excuse to make this enchilada bowl. And I was so glad I did! This was wonderful and I loved using shredded sweet potato for a change. I used pureed tomatoes with spices for the enchilada sauce and added a can of green chilies I wanted to use up. Thanks for the inspiration Izzy!
Yah!! I’m so glad you liked it, Katie! Please send your cool evenings my way! 🙂
