  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons avocado or olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 jalapeno diced
  • ½ cup tomatoes chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup salsa

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Slice sweet potatoes in rounds about 1/4 inch thick or in wedges. Spray a baking sheet with olive or avocado oil. Place the sweet potatoes evenly across the baking sheet so they don't overlap. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes. Use a spatula to flip the sweet potato rounds. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until sweet potatoes are crisp.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle cheese and black beans over the sweet potatoes. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and top with toppings of choice. Omit cheese and sour cream if dairy free. Enjoy!
