how to make black bean nachos with sweet potato
For the ground beef and sweet potato mixture
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the diced sweet potato on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender and slightly caramelized.
Note: For quicker cooking time, simply place the diced sweet potato in a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of water into the microwave. Season with salt and pepper, cover and heat 5-6 minutes.
In a skillet over medium heat add olive oil, once hot add the onion and peppers. Cook for a few minutes, until vegetables are tender. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Stir in the taco seasoning until fully combined.
Add the cooked sweet potato chunks, cherry tomatoes, and black beans to the skillet; stir until well combined.
for the nachos
Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on a baking sheet. Spoon the ground beef and sweet potato mixture evenly over the chips, spreading it out to cover the chips.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the nachos.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
