Sweet Potato Nachos

Ingredients

Nachos Ingredients:

• 2 bags of sweet potato chips
• 1 (16 oz.) can black beans
• 1 avocado, diced
• ½ cup pico de gallo
• 1 cup corn
• Optional to garnish: cilantro, green onions, or jalapeño peppers, chopped

Chef Merito Nacho Sauce:

• 2 Tbsp. flour
• 2 Tbsp. butter
• ½ tsp. Chef Merito® Turkey Seasoning
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1½ cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Preparation

1. In a saucepan, mix butter and flour on low heat until pasty, making a roux. Once the roux is done, add whipping cream, cheddar cheese, and Chef Merito® Turkey Seasoning. Mix on medium to low heat until cheese has completely melted and has come to a simmer. Remove from heat.
2. In a skillet, pour in the black beans and mash with a potato masher. Cook until warm.
3. Arrange sweet potato chips on a platter. Spoon a generous amount of the cheese sauce over the chips, then cover with beans, pico de gallo, and avocado.
4. Garnish with salsa, sour cream, and green onions or jalapeño peppers. Enjoy!

Tip

Make sweet potato chips at home by thinly slicing the sweet potatoes with a mandolin. Season with olive oil and Chef Merito® Turkey Seasoning to taste. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake at 380ºF until crispy, approximately 20 minutes.
