Preheat oven to 400°F.

Spiralize the sweet potatoes with the smallest noodle blade and place them in a 9 x 13 oval casserole dish.

Bring a large pot of water to boil and add guajillo peppers, cover and simmer on medium until the peppers are soft, 10 to 20 minutes depending on the pepper.

Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and add the garlic and onion, saute until browned. Transfer to the blender with the sauce along with cumin, salt, and pepper and blend well.

Pour the mixture into the large bowl with the shredded chicken, black beans and corn. Mix to combine, then pour over the spiralized sweet potatoes, making sure the sauce mixes well and gets in between the spirals.

Top with cheese, cover with aluminum foil and bake 1 hour, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
