Black Bean Sweet Potato Nachos Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 8. Line two large baking sheets with baking parchment. Brush the potato slices with oil, season and sprinkle over the paprika. Bake for 10-15 mins until completely crisp.
• Reduce oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Transfer half the crisps to an ovenproof dish, layer with half the beans and cheese, then repeat. Return to the oven for 10 mins until the cheese melts.
• Meanwhile, mix all the salsa ingredients and season. Top the nachos with salsa and coriander.

Steps:

• Pierce the potatoes a few times and microwave for 10 mins or bake at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 40 mins.
• Heat (or increase) oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Halve each potato and scoop out roughly half the flesh to save for another meal (you can mash and freeze it). Cut the potato skins in half lengthways, then season and rub with the oil. Line a roasting tin with baking parchment, arrange the potato skins in a single layer and bake for 15 mins until starting to crisp.
• Scatter over the beans, salsa and cheese and return to the oven for 10-15 mins until the cheese is bubbling. Chop the avocado and toss in the lime juice. Top the potato skins with the avocado mix, coriander and red onion.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Evenly slice sweet potatoes into rounds.
• In a medium-sized bowl, toss rounds with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
• Lay rounds flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet and set aside.
• On a second parchment-lined baking sheet, season chicken breast with olive oil, salt, and pepper, to taste. Wrap the parchment around the chicken, folding at the edges.
• Bake the sweet potatoes and the chicken in the oven for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
• Allow both to cool. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.
• Line the bottom of a medium-sized skillet with the sweet potato rounds. Top with shredded chicken, black beans, jalapeño if desired, and cheese. Broil for 5-10 minutes or until toppings are heated through and cheese is melted.
• Garnish with avocado, pico de gallo, and green onion, if desired. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large baking dish, mix the sweet potato, 2 tblsp of oil, cumin and coriander seeds, and bake, uncovered, at 180C/350F/gas mark 4, for 50-60 minutes until tender. (NB I did not make this part of the recipe)(If you also choose to omit this step, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4 now.).
• Heat the remaining oil gently in a pan and add the onion, garlic, chilli and paprika.
• Cover and cook until the onion is soft, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the tomatoes with their juice, and the peppers, and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the beans.
• Divide the corn chips between four individual ovenproof dishes, top with the bean mixture, then the sweet potato, and finish with the cheese.
• Bake for 10 minutes until the nachos are well heated through, and the cheese has melted.
• Serve sprinkled with coriander, with avocado and soured cream served separately.
• NOTE: I made a simple guacamole with the avocado.
• I mashed it with a tblsp lemon juice, then I added a chopped fresh tomato, a few drops of hot pepper sauce, and some ground salt and pepper.
• I beat some lemon juice into a cup of cream.(I used more than recipe states, I like sour cream!).
• I then served these separately, they were delicious with the nachos!
