Sweet Potato Nachos

Published: November 28, 2022 · Courtney Rushing

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Another day, another recipe inspired by HalfBakedHarvest. If you don’t have her cookbook, Every Day, I could not recommend it anymore. This recipe is cozy, yet filled with nutrient dense foods to keep you satiated and fueled.

I do try to make some of her recipes a bit more macro friendly and this one can easily be done by adding chicken for more protein and by reducing the amount of oil and cheese for less fat.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 200 grams rotisserie chicken breast w/o skin chopped
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup (2 oz) reduced fat pepper jack cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup (1 oz) fat free feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 jalapeño diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro

Additional toppings

  • avocado
  • greek yogurt/sour cream
  • hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place the sweet potatoes wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add the taco seasoning and gently toss with your hands to evenly coat. Spread the wedges out onto one or two baking sheets in an even layer (if you crowd the pan, they will only steam). Bake for 15-20 minutes, then flip and bake for 15-20 minutes more. You want the sweet potatoes to be tender, but crisp.
  • Remove sweet potatoes from oven and top with chicken, beans and the pepper jack cheese. Place back into oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted throughly.
  • Remove from oven and add remaining ingredients on top.
  • Can serve with avocado, greek yogurt or sour cream and hot sauce.

Notes

  • This recipe is naturally gluten free.
  • To make vegan or vegetarian, omit the chicken. You can replace with a plant based meat alternative. Use a dairy free cheese.

Deload week. What is it? Why do we need it? What do we do with our caloric intake? 

Swipe to learn!

Believe me, if you’re doing #tightertogether , this week is crucial to aid with weeks 4 and 5! If your carb cycling, keep carb cycling. If you’re at maintenance, stay at maintenance. If you’re building your plate, keep building that plate! Your body deserves food with or without training. 

This week comes at a perfect time for me as I am heading to the beach for a wedding. I plan to take it easy and provide my body a lot of rest!

Tell me one thing you’re going to do this week to aid with muscle recovery?!

Welcome to part 2 where we evaluate a client’s meal diary!

Today’s tips include monitoring your sodium, limiting consumption of processed meats, adding in more fruits, whole grains, and veggies, and making simple swaps to provide more fiber and protein to aid with overall satiety. 

Again, these are just suggestions from a nutritionist to better manage your macros. I could 50 other things in this diary alone. Let me know if y’all want me to keep doing more of these!
