Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato - thinly sliced or thicker slices depending on which type nachos you are making
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil.
  • ½ lb ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • guacamole or 1 avocado chopped

Instructions

To make sweet potato chips.

  1. Thinly slice your sweet potato and coat with olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Lay on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and cook for 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven or until brown and crispy. Flip halfway through cooking time.

To make individual sweet potato slices.

  1. Cut the sweet potato in thick slices and place on a microwave safe dish or parchment paper. Cook for 2 minutes until they are soft but sturdy.

  2. While the sweet potatoes are cooking, brown your grown beef in a sauté pan. Add your spices and salsa and continue to cook for 5 more minutes.

  3. To make individual slices: When potato slices are done, arrange on a plate and top with ground meat mixture and toppings of your choice. I used a bit of avocado, tomato and green onion.

  4. To make a mound of nachos: arrange a big pile of sweet potato chips, then top with the meat mixture and any of the following: shredded chess and sour cream (if you do dairy), guacamole, tomatoes, avocados, green onions, olives, pickled jalapeños, cilantro all work nice.
