Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Add to the potatoes the drained, diced fire-roasted tomatoes, and toss gently to coat.
• Spoon the coated sweet potatoes into a medium-large casserole dish, then spoon over top the chorizo; next, sprinkle on the black beans, the halved cherry tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of the sliced green onion, then sprinkle over the jack cheese.
• Bake the sweet potato casserole for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the casserole is nice and hot.
