INGREDIENTS
2 sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into 1/4 in. thick discs
Olive oil cooking spray
Garlic powder
Ground cumin
Chili powder
Salt
Black pepper
1 can of black beans, drained & rinsed
1 red onion, diced small
1 yellow bell pepper (or whatever color you like best), diced small
1 jalapeño, diced small
Low-fat Mexican cheese
Optional garnishes: salsa, guacamole & light sour cream
STEPS
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with olive oil cooking spray. Place the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the parchment paper. Spray the rounds with the olive oil spray, then season them liberally with garlic powder, cumin powder, chili powder and black pepper. Add a pinch of salt. Bake until crispy, about 30 minutes (check them after 20 minutes, toss them, then stick them back in).
Add the cheese, black beans, red onion, bell pepper and jalapeño to the sweet potato discs. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove and broil until the cheese is golden brown.
Serve with salsa, guac and light sour cream — enjoy!
