Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema

March 24, 2019 By Patricia 32 Comments

Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema is a snack that’s more like a light meal. Sweet potatoes are so hearty (and healthy) and they’re a delightful sub for standard chips. These nachos are perfect when you’re watching the game or just looking for lunch!

Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema make a great snack! Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema are filling and fun to snack on.

I’m a sweet potato fan! Goooo, sweet potatoes! The funny thing is that I never used to like them. Maybe because way back when, I only saw them once a year, served up in a sweet casserole topped with marshmallow. Never was my favorite way to eat them.

Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema are a tasty, hearty snack. You'll love Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema anytime!

Today I’m happy to bring them around often, and I love them as subs for other ingredients, like in my Sweet Potato “Fried Rice.”  I also like them as fries or just cubed and baked in the oven so they get all golden and tasty.

These Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema are perfect as a light meal. Grab a fork (they’re not quite as crispy as a standard chip), and drizzle the avocado crema liberally! They’re a little on the non-traditional side of things when it comes to nachos, but oh, so good!

Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema makes a great light meal or snack. Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema is tasty and a healthier snack option!

Like I said, they’re perfect when you’re snacking, or when you need a lighter meal. Very versatile, including the toppings you add to your nachos. Try olives or corn, or bits of bell pepper.

But whatever you do, don’t forget the avocado crema! Use a little or a lot (like me), but definitely include it in your toppings.

If you love avocado crema, give my Pork al Pastor Bowls a try. You’ll find it on top of all the goodies going on in those bowls.

Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema is a treat for snacktime! Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema is lovely as a snack.

These Sweet Potato Nachos are filling, and perfect when friends are over watching the game or binge watching shows. Who doesn’t love nachos?

For another non-traditional nachos dish check out my Greek Nachos with Tzatziki Sauce. Mmm! Totally fun and snackable! 

Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema are delightful as a non-traditional snack. You'll love these Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema!

The next time you’re looking for a fun dish to make with sweet potatoes, or when you have friends dropping by, make a batch of Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema. Pass around the forks and dig in!

Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema are a fun snack and great as a light meal, too! Enjoy Sweet Potato Nachos with Avocado Crema anytime!

Ingredients

    For the Nachos:
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapenos, drained
  • 1/3 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Parsley as garnish
  • For the Avocado Crema:
  • 1 large avocado, peeled and pit removed
  • 1/3 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • Juice from 1/2 lime
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    For the Nachos:
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Line two baking pans with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. Toss the sweet potatoes in the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Arrange them on the baking pans in a single layer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until soft. Keep an eye on the sweet potatoes as they cook. You don’t want them to get too browned around the edges.
  4. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Since you don’t flip them the first time they’re in the oven, be sure flip the rounds and place them face down on a foil-lined baking pan. You can overlap the rounds to fit.
  5. Layer some of the cheese over the sweet potato rounds (reserve a few pinches), followed by the black beans, diced tomatoes, and red onion.
  6. Place under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts and the sweet potato rounds begin to brown around the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
  8. Drizzle with the avocado crema over the top, and garnish with parsley.
  9. Serve immediately.

    I have never heard of making nachos with sweet potatoes and honestly probably would never have even thought of it! Nachos are such a great snack when you have company!

    This looks super yummy and so easy to veganise if we swap the cheese and sour cream. Thank you for such a yummy idea!

    I am so not sure that I am brave enough to make this. Would I try it? Probably, it's good to try new things, but making it? I don't know..... but I'm not a big nachos person. :)

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
