SWEET POTATO NACHOS

Steps:

• Pierce the potatoes a few times and microwave for 10 mins or bake at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 40 mins.
• Heat (or increase) oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Halve each potato and scoop out roughly half the flesh to save for another meal (you can mash and freeze it). Cut the potato skins in half lengthways, then season and rub with the oil. Line a roasting tin with baking parchment, arrange the potato skins in a single layer and bake for 15 mins until starting to crisp.

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.

• NOTE: I made a simple guacamole with the avocado.

• 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!

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!

HEARTY BEAN NACHOS WITH SPICY SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare the salsa: Place the tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapeños, chiles de árbol and garlic in a medium saucepan. Cover with at least 6 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the tomatoes and tomatillos are cooked through and mushy, the jalapeños have softened and the chiles de árbol have plumped up, about 10 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked vegetables to a blender, setting aside the cooking liquid. Add the cilantro, cumin and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the blender; purée until smooth.
• Prepare the vegetables: Bring the reserved vegetable cooking liquid back to a simmer over medium-high heat and season generously with salt. Once it comes to a boil, add the carrots or sweet potatoes, or both, and cook until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Pour the cooked vegetables into a colander, discarding liquid, and set aside.
• Wipe the saucepan dry, then add 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium. Once the oil is hot, pour in the salsa, partly cover it with the lid, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and the color has deepened, 8 to 10 minutes. Set salsa aside.
• Prepare the beans: In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium. Once hot, add the onion and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes, until completely softened. Raise the heat to high, add the cooked carrots and/or sweet potatoes, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring a couple times, until beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the pinto beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed, another 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt, then remove from the heat.
• Assemble the nachos: Set a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400 degrees. Place all the tortilla chips in a half sheet pan or large baking sheet. Cover the chips with the bean mixture, ladle the salsa all over the top and cover with shredded cheese. Bake until cheese has completely melted, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon the crema over the top and garnish with reserved cilantro and chopped white onion. Serve hot!
