    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.

    What's your favorite way to eat them? I'm still experimenting with them but these and then this have been some of my fav's.

    So if you thought nachos were only in the form of tortilla chips then you're Really missing out.

    Don't get me wrong, I love a good tortilla chip as well, but it's been my mission to try and get as many veggies in whenever I can.

    Hence you may want to also try this version as well.

      These turned into a mushy mess. It was a delicious mushy mess, but a mushy mess nonetheless.

        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 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!

      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!!!
