I did a some easy substitutes with this. I used ground turkey and some bold Penzy's taco mix instead of the spices. It came out awesome. I've made it twice. Super easy, great flavor. My 9 year old son, who swears he hates black beans did not complain about them and ate every bite.

My husband and I loved this recipe. I subsituted kidney beans for the black beans, and salsa for the enchilada sauce, and it turned out great.

My kids are picky eaters, and they even ate it all. I made each layer something different (sweet potatoes, beans, ground beef) since they aren't sure about things mixed together.

When I mentioned the name of the recipe my family was lukewarm. However when I served it, they LOVED it.

the sweet and spicy flavors were an excellent combo. I don't eat meat, so I used extra sweet potato and it was still wonderful; although, my husband would have preferred it with the meat.
