Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1 taco seasoning packet
  • 1/2 cup lite cheddar cheese, shredded

Fresh Toppings

  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

Additional Toppings

  • Light sour cream
  • Taco sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Thinly slice the sweet potatoes and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  2. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast the sweet potato slices in the oven for 20-25 minutes until they are tender and slightly crispy, forming a perfect crunchy base for your nachos.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat, then add the taco seasoning along with a splash of water. Stir well and let it simmer for a few minutes to fully develop the flavors.
  4. Assemble Nachos: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and evenly distribute the seasoned ground beef over them. Sprinkle the shredded lite cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Melt Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, enhancing the taste and texture of the nachos.
  6. Add Fresh Toppings: Remove the nachos from the oven and top with chopped tomatoes, diced red onion, shredded lettuce, and sliced avocado to add a fresh, crisp contrast.
  7. Finish with Sauces: Drizzle taco sauce over the nachos and add a dollop of light sour cream to complete the dish with creamy, zesty flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, flip sweet potato slices halfway through roasting.
  • Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content and increase protein.
  • Customize toppings by adding jalapeños, black beans, or corn for variation.
  • Leftover sweet potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe can be made gluten-free by ensuring taco seasoning and sauces are gluten-free.
