Add a single layer of corn tortillas (use about 2 tortillas) add 1/3 of the the sweet potato and bean mixture, then 1/4 of the cheese (about a 1/2 cup), and another 1/2 cups of red enchilada sauce. Repeat with more tortillas, sweet potato mixture, cheese, sauce. Repeat with more tortillas, sweet potato mixture, cheese, sauce. Add a final layer or corn tortilla, enchilada sauce, and then top the whole things off with a heavy hand of cheese.
