Print Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 15 ounce can black beans
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic
• 1/2 cup diced cherry tomatoes
• 1 4 ounce can green chiles
• 1 4 ounce can sliced black olives
• 1 bell pepper color of choice
• 1/2 large avocado
• 1/2 cup vegan shredded cheese

Instructions

• First, make the sweet potato chips. Peel away any dark or funny looking spots from the skin. However, do not remove all of the skin.
• Then sliced sweet potatoes into thin rounds, I recommend a mandolin for creating consistent thin rounds.
• Brush a light layer of coconut oil onto a baking sheet and add the sweet potato slices. To help the potatoes turn into a crispy chips, make sure they are evenly spaced and ideally not touching.
• Bake in the oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to an hour, flipping once. Please note, that these chips will shrink as they cook.
• While the chips cook, add the beans, drained and rinsed, to a small pot with the seasonings. Stir together and then warm on the stove, on low heat.
• Now, prep the rest of your toppings; dice the tomatoes, bell pepper and avocado.
• Once the chips are ready, spread them out on a baking sheet and layer with all of the toppings, except the avocado. Roast in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Once the cheese has melted to your liking, remove and top with avocado and optional some fresh lime wedges or even cilantro!
