Sweet Potato Nachos

 
This dinner was totally outside of the "typical" box, but it was so tasty that I will definitely be making it again.
 
Ingredients:
3 sweet potatoes, sliced thin
 
1 pound lean ground turkey
 
1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
 
Cajun seasoning
 
sea salt
 
black pepper
 
extra virgin olive oil
 
ground cumin
 
Optional toppings:
shredded cheddar cheese
 
diced onions
 
hot sauce
 
peppers
 
 
plain Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream - you'll never want to go back!)
 
Directions:
 
1. Pre-heat oven to 450.
 
2. Thinly slice sweet potatoes (I used the slicing blade on my food processor & got them done lickety split) & place in an even layer on a baking sheet.  Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle on sea salt, black pepper, & a pinch of ground cumin.  Toss well & place in oven.  Roast for approx. 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
 
3. In a large skillet, brown ground turkey seasoned with Cajun seasoning.
 
4. When turkey is cooked through, lower the heat & add the black beans.  Cook until beans are warmed through.
 
5. Place sweet potatoes on your plate, top with meat & bean mixture & garnish away! 
 
The kids liked theirs with cheese.  I skipped the cheese & went with diced onions & hot sauce!  I will definitely be making the corn & black bean salsa to put on top next time we make this.
