Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon chili powder

• 1 teaspoon cumin

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)

• 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

• 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

• 1 avocado, diced

• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

• 1/4 cup sliced green onions

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine sweet potato rounds, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Toss well to coat.
• Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly crispy.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top the sweet potato rounds with shredded cheese, black beans, and corn. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove from the oven and top with avocado, tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro. Drizzle with sour cream and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

• For a spicier version, add sliced jalapeños before baking.
• You can also add cooked, shredded chicken or seasoned ground beef for a heartier dish.
• To save time, use store-bought sweet potato chips instead of baking your own.

Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos make a delicious appetizer and pair well with other Mexican-inspired dishes like tacos, fajitas, or enchiladas. They also complement a variety of dips, such as guacamole, salsa, or queso. If you’re serving this dish as part of a game day spread, consider pairing it with buffalo chicken dip, sliders, or chicken wings for a satisfying and varied feast.
