Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional for heat)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a vegan alternative)

1 avocado, diced

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. While it warms up, wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.

    Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss them thoroughly until each slice is evenly coated with the seasoning.

      Grill the Sweet Potatoes: Carefully place the seasoned sweet potato slices directly onto the grill grates. Grill them for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and develop beautiful grill marks. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

        Layer the Nachos: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sweet potato rounds from the grill and transfer them onto a large serving platter or an appropriate heatproof pan. Begin layering your nachos by adding black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeños (if you enjoy some heat). Top with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.

          Melt the Cheese: Return the assembled nachos to the grill (using the heatproof pan if necessary). Close the grill lid and let them cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

            Garnish and Serve: Take the nachos off the grill and allow them to cool for a minute. Then, elegantly top them with diced avocado, a drizzle of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.

              Enjoy: Dive into these delectable nachos using your favorite tortilla chips, or enjoy them straight from the platter for a more communal experience!
