Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 Ounces Chorizo Beef, Pork or Soy; substitute ground beef
- 1 Small Sweet Potato
- ¼ Cup Water
- 2 Cups Shredded Kale
- 1 Cup Red Enchilada Sauce
- 6 Gluten Free Corn Tortillas 6-8"
- 1 ¼ Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Toppings (optional)
- 1 Lime
- 1 Avocado
- 1 Bundle Cilantro
- 1 Jalapeño
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF.
- In a pot on the stove, start to cook the chorizo at medium-high heat - no need to add any fat. Break the chorizo into bite sized pieces.
- While the chorizo is cooking, peel and dice the sweet potato into small cubes.
- Once the chorizo completes cooking, add the sweet potatoes and the water. Immediately cover. Every few minutes, remove the lid and stir, placing the lid back on after.
- Cook the chorizo and sweet potatoes until the potatoes are fork-tender (about 8-minutes).
- Once the sweet-potatoes are fork-tender, add in the kale and ¼ cup enchilada sauce to the pot and stir. Once kale wilts, remove the pot from the heat.
- Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Pour ¼ cup of the enchilada sauce on in the bottom of the baking dish. Tilt the dish around in a circle so the sauce covers the entire bottom tortillas.
- Place three tortillas on top of the enchilada sauce, overlapping if needed.
- Spoon the beef chorizo, kale, sweet potato mixture on top of the tortillas and cover with ½ cup of shredded cheese.
- Make a second-layer of tortillas using the three remaining tortillas, overlapping to fit. Layer again with the final ½ Cup of the enchilada sauce.
- Top with the final layer of cheese (¾ cup).
- Put in the oven for 10-minutes. After 10-minutes, put on broil for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese browns and bubbles a bit.
- Take out of the oven and use a spatula to slice into four pieces. Serve in bowls or plates, with toppings on top or on the side!
