Hey, you're getting all your much needed veggies in the form of Nachos.
Are you guys generally Sweet Potato lovers? Well first of all I must admit that I've kind of had mixed feelings about them until Now.
But once you've had them in the form of a nacho you'll totally get what I'm saying.
Sweet Potatoes were just meant to be Nachos...Haha!! Basking in all that chili seasoning and topped with all that ooey gooey goodness.

Notes
Sweet Ride.
These turned into a mushy mess. It was a delicious mushy mess, but a mushy mess nonetheless.
Stephanie
I'm so GLAD you enjoyed the flavor. These are definitely messy just as loaded tortilla nachos are. I'm not sure exactly what you meant by mushy though, maybe you didn't get the sweet potatoes thin enough or crisp enough. Anyway, they're definitely delicious with or without a fork 🙂

You don't have to ask me twice to enjoy a plate of nachos. Nachos are my all time favorite cheat food and, frankly, if I could. . .I would treat every day as a cheat day.
I love your twist of using sweet potatoes, instead of the typical tortilla chips. . .so good. And that cheese sauce made with the yogurt. . .now that's brilliant.

I absolutely need to try this! Sweet potatoes are one of my favorites, and you can't go wrong with nachos!

I made some sweet potato nachos to recently and I can totally agree they are awesome. I added pulled pork but for vegetarians it's perfectly possible to do without! Actually as a meat lover I need to admit we've eaten these a lot the vegetarian way too!
Tiffany @ Parsnips + Pastries
Yummmm! I love sweet potato anything especially NACHOS! Love that you added Greek yogurt to lighten this up a bit, definitely saving this for the weekend 😉

Loving the healthy take on nachos. We are having nachos for dinner tonight...however not the healthy version. Tonight is "junk food" treat...nachos, wings, wine and a movie. However, since we can't eat unhealthy all the time....this is a great way to eat nachos more often. AWESOME!!!
Stephanie
For sure Gloria..but we all need a junk food night sometimes. Sounds like fun..Enjoy 🙂
