Sweet Potato Enchiladas

 They are calling for snow this weekend and I for one am always excited for a cozy weekend snow day!!  Relaxing days at home, however, can often equate to the feeling of "what can I snack on next!" This being said, I want to share with you one of my favorite recipes that will take way that urge to snack because it is filling, warm and a healthy alternative to  restaurant enchiladas with all the same great flavor.  Your entire family will love it and its fast and simple to prepare, so its sure not to interrupt your cuddle time on the couch ;)

Sweet Potato, 1 extra large or 2 small

8 small tortillas, whole wheat or low carb
