Ingredients
For the sweet potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into rounds
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
For the ground beef
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet of your favorite taco seasoning
- 1/3 cup of taco sauce
For the Nachos
- 1-2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
- 1-2 avocados cubed
- 5-10 cherry tomatoes, halved
- Drizzle of sour cream
- 1/2 red onion, finely diced
- Freshly chopped cilantro, optional
- Hot sauce, optional
Instructions
- Place the sweet potato rounds on a greased baking sheet. Drizzle with a little oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, chili powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Drain excess fat if needed. Stir in the taco seasoning and taco sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, evenly spread the ground beef mixture on top and sprinkle with cheese. Return to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Top the nachos with cubed avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, and a drizzle of sour cream. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
