This Mexican Chipotle Sweet Potato Casserole is a delicious and simple, vegan and gluten free recipe that could be eaten as a side dish or as an entree!
There’s nothing I love more than a delicious slow cooked one pot meal that’s super easy to make and super healthy, which is why I’m totally obsessed with this new dish!
I combined tons of veggies with chipotle salsafor a gluten free & vegan recipe that is super scrumptious!
If you hadn’t noticed, I kind of have a thing for the flavor of chipotle. You’ll find it in these recipes forChipotle Lime Chicken Fajita Skewers, Chipotle Stout Chili, Chipotle Pulled Pork Dip & Chipotle Honey Glazed Salmon Tacos, just to name a few!
I thought it was about time I added a vegetarian (and vegan!) recipe to my ongoing list of chipotle flavored recipes, which is what I bring you today!

*This recipe can be made in the oven or in thecrock pot!
Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, sweet potatoes, corn, diced tomatoes and black beans to a large bowl.
Add the Que Pasa Chipotle Salsa and toss everything together.
Place in an oven-safe baking dish or in the crock pot.
Youcan actually add all of the ingredients straight to the baking dish or crock pot, I simply tossed everything together in a bowl to make the pictures prettier 😉
Add the cumin and pour the vegetable broth over the dish.
Cover with foil and place in the oven to bake for1 hour & 30 minutes, or cook on low in the crock pot for 4-6 hours.
Before serving thecasserole, place the avocado, lime juice and cilantro in a blender or food processor and puree.
Drizzle the avocado sauce over the top of the casserole.
I served mine over cilantro lime rice. You could also serve it over quinoa, cilantro lime cauliflower rice, wrap it up in a tortilla, or simply serve it by itself. No matter how you serve it, you’re going to love it!
Excuse me while I run to the kitchen to dig into the leftovers for lunch!
