Sweet Potato Layered Mexican Casserole
Who doesn’t love a 7 layer Mexican Dip? Uh…everyone does right? So as I was browsing my pantry looking for something to make for dinner, I found a can of chilies and black refried beans and a sweet potato. I have made sweet potato chili before and heard of black beans with sweet potatoes, so why not…I actually had been craving a 7 layer dip and chips…so it was a short leap to this recipe. Born was Sweet Potato Layered Mexican Casserole!
Sweet Potato Layered Mexican Casserole
Ingredients:
- 1 can Black Bean Refried Beans
- 1 Large Sweet Potato (peeled and sliced)
- 1 Packet Taco Seasoning
- 1 Large Tomato Diced
- 1/2 to 1 Onion Diced
- 1 can Green Chilies
- 1 Cups Daiya Vegan Cheddar Cheese Shreads
- Sliced Olives
- 1 Avocado cut into Chuncks
Spread 1/2 Beans out in a 9×9 in baking pan
Layer 1/2 of Sweet Potatoes and Sprinkle with Taco Seasoning
Then spread out 1/2 of the tomatoes, onions, chilies and cheese
Repeat with a second layer. Bake at 425 degrees covered for 30-40 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender. Remove foil and broil for 5 minutes until cheese is browned. Let sit 5-10 minutes before serving.
Top with sliced olives and avocados before serving.
Enjoy!

This is a great recipe. I am going to have to try this, I love the sweet potatoes and I see it is vegan. How do you like the Daiya cheese. I just can’t get into any of the non-dairy cheeses. And I am trying hard to eliminate dairy.
Suzi, I love the Daiya Cheeses…it is the only vegan cheese I use! It melts nicely and has good flavor. Very creamy texture when melted. I can’t say it tastes exactly like cheddar, Mozz or pepperjack…but it does taste great! Hope you like this vegan recipes and there are a lot more to choose from. Thanks for stopping by =)
This looks absolutely delicious! I’ve been looking for a way to have my own layered dip with more than just three layers.
Thanks for the recipe! I’ll be making this in no time!
