Craving nachos for dinner but want to keep it grain free? Simply sub out the corn chips and empty calories for some nutritious, fibre rich sweet potato.
Did you know Sweet Potatoes are full of vitamins and minerals that help keep our bodies nourished? They provide a great source of Vitamin B6, C, D, Potassium and Magnesium to name just a few and the fact that they taste so delicious is just a bonus.
This vegan mexican inspired dish is a fuss free and easy whip up for nights where you feel like something that feels indulgent but won't leave you feeling guilty right after you're done eating.
This recipe is for 2 people, I stacked up the sweet potato into 2 mini skillets and we ate our meal straight from this, however if you don't have skillets, then using a baking pan or casserole dish will also work.
Optional extras for those that want a heartier from protein rich meal are - Black Beans, Refried Beans, Spiced Jackfruit or Diced Tempeh.
