Sweet Potato Enchiladas

One of my favorite happy occurrences is when I have no idea what to cook for dinner, I look around my kitchen, see one main item, have a brainstorm of what to make and then realize I actually have all the ingredients I need to make it!  That's what happened the other night.  I saw the sweet potatoes sitting in my veggie basket and thought, "oh I better use those soon before they go bad, what kind of Mexican dish can I make with them??" (I was CRAVING Mexican food, which is normal for me)  Then I remembered a Pinterest recipe I saw a while ago for a sweet potato enchilada, but of course I didn't pin it so I couldn't find it.  Therefore, I came up with my own recipe.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Chicken Enchiladas w/White Sauce

Enchiladas have to be one of my favorite foods.  I'm usually pretty boring with mine though, either red or green sauce with chicken and cheese.  But now that I have this blog I have an excuse to try all kinds of new recipes.  I found this one through Pinterest and then tweaked it just a little.  I have these great little ramekins (as you can see from the picture) that I wanted to use for this meal so I layered my enchiladas instead of rolling them, but by all means, roll them if you don't have cute little ramekins like me. :)

My 13 year old son gave this his official seal of approval.  He loves enchiladas with green sauce and then smothers them in sour cream, since this recipes has green chilies and sour cream in the sauce I figured he would love it!
