AIP Sweet Potato Nachos

So, we did something a little risky but it’s okay, because it was ALLL worth it. We did some autoimmune protocol, paleo friendly sweet potato nacho action. For the rest of this post we’ll just say “AIP.” For those of you on AIP you’ll know that recreating any Southwest/Mexican flavored dishes gets real tricky without seed based spices and peppers (cumin, paprika, peppers). BUT, this native Texan is here to tell you these don’t disappoint…

If there’s one dinner I remember having as a kid it is NACHOS. A big ol’ sheet pan of spicy nachos with a thick layer of refried beans, meat, and cheese. More like two pans. When there are six children in the family it’s a good move to have two sheet trays of food. I wonder if we even had three? I’m not sure. All I know is that when those pans hit the table you had better be on the edge of your chair because the race was on. It is unbelievable how quickly a whole pan of food can disappear before your eyes. (As an adult, I blame my tendency of eating way too fast on these nachos.)

Lately, I have been craving those delicious  nachos of my childhood and…obviously, they are the opposite of auto immune protocol/paleo friendly (we’re looking at you: corn, legumes, dairy, and nightshades).

Enter: Sweet potato nachos.

AIP PALEO SWEET POTATO NACHOS

Roasted sweet potato rounds with AIP taco meat, quick pickled jicama and red onion, loads of cilantro and guacamole.

The sweet and tart jicama and red onion add crunch while the roasted sweet potato rounds give that comforting texture I remember so fondly! Fresh cilantro and limey guac hint at those tex-mex flavors. Add a cold drink and you got your self a meal.

Oh, just be sure to make enough.
