The Base: Crispy Sweet Potato Rounds
Start with thinly sliced sweet potatoes. You can use a mandoline for perfectly even slices or go rustic with a sharp knife and a little patience. Toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika. Roast them at 425°F (220°C) for about 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until they’re golden brown and just a little crispy around the edges.
Protein
While the potatoes are baking, cook your ground beef, add taco seasoning and 2 tbsp of salsa for extra flavor at the end. Top the roasted sweet potatoes with ground beef, cheese and return to the oven for 5 minutes or just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
The Toppings: Go Wild
Here’s where it gets fun — pile on whatever your nacho-loving heart desires. Popular topping options:
- Ground beef, avocados, Black beans, corn, jalapeños, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
- Sauce: mix Greek yogurt for added protein with some salsa for a burst of flavor
