Oh-So-Loaded (guilt-free) Sweet Potato Nachos

Recently, I was craving some deep friend tortilla chip nachos so bad, but, I have certain fitness goals that I am working very hard towards and unfortunately, the traditional crispy-fried nachos do not make the #abgoals cut. But, I also believe that it is important to find balance in our fitness journey, so my form of balance consisted of these savory...delicious...bursting with flavor: Loaded Sweet Potato "nachos". These turned out to be a dream come true for my (and hubby's) taste buds. The best part was that when I decided to make these, I remembered that I had leftover chicken from the Cilantro Lime Chicken tacos we had the other night...score!

Also, fun fact: Sweet potatoes are considered to have a lower glycemic index vs regular white potatoes so they tend to sustain energy levels because they digest more slowly. These were a perfect pick-me-up after a vigorous #LegDay I had at the gym the other day.

I hope you give this recipe a try because I know you will love it!

Step 2: Using a mendoline(spk chk?) slicer, slice up your sweet potatoes. Toss sliced pieces in olive oil, black pepper, sea salt, garlic powder and onion powder

Step 3: Space the sliced sweet potatoes on an oven-safe wire rack & place wire rack on top of a large cookie sheet pan

Step 4: Place in oven for about 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye out

Step 5: Once cooked, transfer onto a trey (I used disposable aluminium trey because I am all about that easy-clean-up LIFE!)

Step 6: Layer on your toppings (I layered in this order: shreded cilantro lime chicken, corn, chopped onion, chopped tomatoes, light taco style cheese, chopped avocado). Now put it back in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. KEEP AN EYE OUT so it doesn't burn!
