LOADED SWEET POTATO NACHOS
There are several ways to make sweet potato chips, you can even buy them from the store, but my favorite way is definitely grilling! Thin sweet potato rounds are tossed in avocado oil, original TABASCO® sauce and a simple seasoning blend before picking up a nice char and crispy edges on the grill.
I set my grill to high using direct heat and cook my sweet potato chips for a couple of minutes per side. They really cook so quickly and there is nothing like fresh grilled chips! The key here is to stay close to the grill and keep an eye on your sweet potatoes. I like to have little spots on each potato that are just charred like the crust on a super delicious wood fired pizza. It adds so much to the flavor of the chips!
We like our sweet potato nachos loaded with black beans, cherry tomatoes, green onions, avocados, and fresh cilantro. To top it all off, I made a homemade TABASCO® spiked queso sauce, because with a gooey cheese sauce you know you’ll get plenty of melty cheese on each bite.
TABASCO® SPIKED QUESO
Making queso from scratch is so incredibly easy and way better than anything store bought. I stick with real cheese and whole milk to make it extra luscious and swirl in TABASCO® Sauce to punch up the flavor and bring the heat! This warm and gooey cheese sauce is the perfect complement to those crispy grilled sweet potato chips.
