Oct 31, 2017, Updated Jan 17, 2024 I have this thing for nachos. They might be my kryptonite. My kids love them, too. I had a major craving yesterday, and since I had a sweet potato kicking around, I turned it into nutritionally-upgraded “chips”. I make this super quick-and-easy cheese sauce with just milk, shredded cheese, and corn starch. It is super delicious and can be used on everything from nachos to cauliflower to shortcut homemade mac & cheese. I turned it into a simple lunch with black beans and cilantro, but feel free to add onions, tomato, olives, fresh or pickled jalapenos, or any other toppings you love. This post is in collaboration with Horizon (family-friendly, no-weird-ingredients, wholesome, yummy products). As you might already know, I teamed up with them this year in their #AllForWeird (just not in food) campaign – don’t you love that slogan? I used their Organic Mexican Style Shredded Cheese in this recipe. My 4-year-old Theo didn’t trust me at first when I told him these were nachos and tried to bail on the meal altogether, but I encouraged (threatened?) him to at least try them, and then he inhaled the whole plate like a Roomba. I was very self-satisfied. The one sweet potato really only serves to nacho-hungry people, so double if you’re feeding more, just make sure your slices are in a single layer or they will be soggy and not crisp.
