Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchilada Rice Bowl
I go through a lot of phases with certain sauces and flavors, where I crave them on everything. Usually it’s a pesto, a marinara, a romesco, or a barbecue sauce. Right now, it happens to be enchilada sauce, and I’ve been opening a jar and flying through it in a week or so!
Enchilada sauce is so versatile and it’s not just for making enchiladas. You may like these other recipes that use enchilada sauce:

You could use sliced avocado instead of guacamole here, but I love the creaminess that the guacamole gives this otherwise starchy dish. And if you want something slightly lighter and more protein-packed, swap the rice for quinoa!
I’d love to hear some ways you like to cook with enchilada sauce!
