Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare Sweet Potato

    Peel the sweet potato and cut it into small dice. Boil or steam the sweet potato cubes until tender, approximately 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Slice Jalapeños

    Remove the stems and seeds from the jalapeños if desired for less heat. Slice them into thin rings.

  3. 3

    Make Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, mix diced tomatoes, chopped onions, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare Pickled Red Onions

    If using store-bought pickled red onions, skip this step. For homemade, slice red onions thinly and marinate them in vinegar, sugar, and salt for at least 30 minutes.

Assembling the Nachos

  1. 5

    Layer the Base

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). On a large baking sheet, spread a layer of tortilla chips evenly.

  2. 6

    Add Beans

    Spread refried beans over the tortilla chips. Then add black beans evenly on top.

  3. 7

    Add Vegetables

    Distribute the boiled sweet potato and sliced jalapeños over the beans.

  4. 8

    Top with Queso Blanco

    Drizzle the queso blanco over the entire nacho assembly.

Baking and Garnishing

  1. 9

    Bake the Nachos

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 10

    Add Final Toppings

    Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately top with pico de gallo, pickled red onions, crema, guacamole, and cotija cheese.

  3. 11

    Serve

    Serve the veggie nachos hot with additional crema and guacamole on the side.
