I love eating nachos, but my waistline not so much. Sure the chips, the sauces, and the copious amounts of cheese are good, but they are just not worth the calories sometimes. So, today is a great healthier and cleaner, but just as tasty version of nachos. Sub the chips for sweet potato slices, a drizzle of sauce, and guacamole and you get my sweet potato nachos! I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
