Mexican Potato Bake

The only thing that I like just as much as Mexican food is potatoes. I like them in just about every form. This dish combines diced sweet potatoes, but you could substitute your favorite potato instead. Japanese sweet potatoes or red potatoes would be delicious!

With the addition of sweet peppers, chipotle peppers, ground beef, and mexican spices, you’ll whip up a casserole that’s spicy, addicting, and a nice change from typical mexican food.

…which is still absolutely delicious. Change is nice though!

I like to top mine with avocado and dairy-free cheese sauce. You could go crazy with so many different toppings for this! Sour cream, greek yogurt, green onions, salsa verde, the list goes on and on! It would all be tasty!
