Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 small, diced Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup, soaked Cashews
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 sliced Jalapeño
- 2 small, diced Tomatoes
- 1 sliced Avocado
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into thin rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
Toss the sweet potato slices in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the beef topping. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine the spices, then remove from heat.
For the cashew cheese, drain the soaked cashews and place them in a blender.
Add nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and water to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting with additional water if necessary to reach desired consistency.
To assemble the nachos, layer the baked sweet potato chips on a serving platter.
Top with cooked beef mixture, drizzling with cashew cheese.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo-friendly nachos!
