Cheesy nachos are often loaded with artificial ingredients, unhealthy oils, and salts. This version is healthy enough to enjoy as a main course, but remains rich thanks to inherently buttery sweet potatoes and tangy, smooth goat cheese. A bit of heat from sriracha and fresh chili makes this salad-meets-nacho platter pop.
Tip
You can also stick to traditional nacho flavours, adorning the works with pickled jalapenos, shredded cheddar, diced tomatoes, onions, and guacamole.
