We have one word for you… NACHOS! Yes, we are talking about the delicious chip and topping combo that is a fan-favorite across the country. We have a little surprise for you. These aren’t your typical nachos. These Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos are courtesy of July Featured Chef Heather Brown. Not only are they mouthwatering, but this puts a healthy and fun twist on a classic dish.
“One of my favorite things to do in the kitchen is to come up with a “healthy” spin on a favorite classic! And that is exactly what these sweet potato nachos are! After sharing these Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos on my Instagram Stories when we were shooting the photos with my photographer earlier this week, I had an influx of messages asking for the recipe. I am happy to report these nachos are just as amazing as they look! What I love most about this Sweet Potato Nacho recipe is you can add or subtract any of the ingredients to make it your own. I loaded my nachos with grilled chicken, black beans, corn, jalapeño, green onions, tomato, and of course GUAC! However these would be great with beef or pork and any other toppings your tastebuds desire.”
