Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh or canned)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 avocado, diced

Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch thick).

      Season Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato slices with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss until the sweet potato slices are evenly coated.

        Bake the Chips: Spread the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and starting to crisp up.

          Layer the Nachos: Once the sweet potato slices are out of the oven, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). On a large baking dish, layer half of the baked sweet potato chips. Top with half of the black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, jalapeño slices, and shredded cheese. Add the remaining sweet potato chips, followed by the rest of the toppings.

            Melt the Cheese: Return the loaded nacho dish to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the nachos from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro and diced avocado. Serve hot with sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side and lime wedges for a burst of fresh flavor.
