A New Mexican Dish...

As most all of you know, I love my spicy foods.  Hotter the better.  I also love easy recipe's.  I came across this one on Pinterest via Kids In The Sink blog.  She has some really good looking recipe's that look relatively easy..  Here you go...

                                                    Mexican Sweet Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

3 medium sweet potatoes
1 can corn, rinsed and patted dry
Mexican seasoning (cumin, paprika, garlic powder)
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
4 canned chipotle peppers in adobe sauce, minced
1 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
1 cup shredded cheese...

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake potatoes for about an hour.  While potatoes are baking, place corn in a heavy skillet over medium high heat with no butter or oil.  Sprinkle with salt and Mexican seasoning and do not stir.  Let the corn roast for 3-4 minutes before stirring.  Stir and then let sit for another few minutes before stirring again.  Continue for another 10 minutes until corn is brown and roasted.  Set aside and mix in medium bowl with black beans.
Remove sweet potatoes from oven once they are fork tender. Let them cool enough to touch then cut in half and scrape the flesh of the sweet potato out and into the bowl.
Mix the flesh with cream cheese, chipotle peppers, Greek yogurt and salt.  With a potato masher, mix until well combined.  Once thoroughly combined, stir in black beans corn and cilantro.
Place mixture into a large casserole dish and cover with cheese.  Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and starting to bubble.

Huge thanks to Kids In The Park for an awesome recipe!!!
