Sweet potato black bean nachos



Sweet Potato Black Bean Nachos

Ingredients

1 lb. ground turkey
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into small pieces
1 cup of diced tomatoes (I used Pomi, the kind in the tetra pak)
1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth
1 tsp garlic
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp cilantro
hot pepper flakes
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 lb. spinach
corn tortilla chips

Instructions


Cook the turkey. Add the sweet potato, the diced tomatoes and spices. Simmer for about a half an hour until the potatoes are soft. Stir in the black beans and cook for a minute or so. Stir in the spinach, adding gradually as it wilts.

Serve over tortilla chips with guacamole. Other options: sour cream and cheese.

It can get pretty messy, particularly with the thin chips that I like to use.

Option: They also taste really good baked. Just crumble tortilla chips and add them in a layer to a greased 9"x 7" in. pan. Pour the mixture on top. Sprinkle fake or real cheese over it and bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until the cheese melts and browns.
