MEXICAN POTATO NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a large bowl; toss the potato slices in the oil to coat.
• Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the potato slices are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• While potato slices are baking, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; brown the ground beef in the hot oil, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
• Mix the black beans into the ground beef; stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the flavors have blended, about 10 minutes.
• Arrange the potato slices on a serving platter and sprinkle with half the Cheddar cheese.
• Top the potatoes with the meat and bean mixture; sprinkle the remaining cheese on the nachos.
• Spread the lettuce out over the nachos and garnish with tomato and dollops of sour cream and guacamole.

LOADED BLACK BEAN SWEET POTATO NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F
• Slice the potatoes: use a mandoline slicer or a chef knife to thinly slice the potatoes, keep the slices between 1/8 to 1/4 inch in thickness.
• Bake the sliced potatoes: arrange the potatoes on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, then brush both sides of the potato slices with avocado oil. Sprinkle with salt and bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through for an even bake.
• Make the salsa: While the potato slices are baking, mix together the salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste until the flavor is just right. If you are also making guacamole, start that in a separate bowl as well (see notes for my easy guacamole recipe).
• Make the nachos: when the potatoes are done they should be soft when tested with a fork. Use the same pan to arrange the slices of potatoes close together, then top with shredded cheese and black beans. Broil in the oven on HIGH for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and slightly browned on the edges.
• Add toppings: immediately add the salsa, guacamole, or sliced avocado, and serve!

BEAN AND SWEET POTATO NACHOS

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!
