Sweet Potato Enchilada

Breaking norms is only human. We break norms here to a healthier version of Enchilada. The very versatile Sweet Potato comes as an alternative to using the flour or maize tortillas. What is better that we are not using the sweet potato flour, we are actually using the root vegetable on it’s own in it’s original form.
