Sweet Potato Enchiladas Skillet Casserole


I love a creamy, Tex-Mex style one skillet meal.
A while back I made this Easy Beef Tex Mex Skillet Casserole. A vegetarian skillet meal was long overdue so I made this Sweet Potato Enchiladas Skillet Casserole. Easy one skillet Sweet Potato Enchiladas Skillet Casserole | This Gal Cooks
I made this dish for Sunday dinner. Ken and I devoured it! Well, we didn’t devour all of it at once. Luckily, we had leftovers. So we got to devour the rest of it Monday evening. ♥︎
I used RiceSelect Arborio Blend™ with Jalapeño in this recipe. If you love a little heat in your food, you will enjoy the creaminess and slight heat that comes with this blend. It pairs well with the soft sweet potatoes, the zucchini, sweet corn and the black beans used in this dish.

RiceSelect is my go to rice brand. All of their products are non-GMO and are grown, milled, and packaged in the USA. I’ve used many of their varieties in my cooking, such as the Texmati® White Rice and Royal Blend®. And I love that I can purchase RiceSelect products at the grocery store or from the comfort of my home.

This dish was so EASY to make! Everything is cooked in one oven-safe skillet. Saute some sweet potatoes with a little olive oil. Add the rice, black beans, corn, enchilada sauce and chicken stock. Use vegetarian stock, if you prefer. Cover and cook until the rice is tender. Then, top with cheese and broil until that cheese is ooey gooey and bubbly. Enjoy.

  61. My favorite rice side dish is simple to make in my rice cooker, but it’s really tasty, and it depends on good rice. I soften chopped onions in a bit of oil with a dash of salt, then stir in the rice. Then comes the water (and/or stock). A little dried thyme at the beginning or fresh thyme toward the end, and it’s a great basic but flavorful side. It’s also easy to change up the flavoring to match the main course, too.

  62. I tweeted about your Skillet Enchilada Casserole and the RiceSelect promotion:

    • Hi Athena!

      SO glad you enjoyed this recipe! I made it in a 12 inch casserole skillet and there was more than enough room in that so you may want to try that size next time! I found my skillet for a decent price at Homegoods (I’m pretty sure it was less than $30)

      Have a great week and a happy Thanksgiving, if you’re celebrating! :)

  86. I can’t seem to find the jalapeno blend of this brand of rice (of course they have every other flavor) in my stores. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative so I can make this? thanks

    • Hi Kendra,

      I would suggest using the Rice Select plain arborio rice and then adding a fresh chopped jalapeno to the skillet along with the zucchini, red chili peppers and chipotle peppers (step 2).

      Hope this helps. :)
