Instructions
Sweet potato chips –
- If making sweet potato chips, preheat oven to 170 C/338 F. Slice the sweet potato as thin as you can.
- Use a mandolin slicer or a slicer setting on a food processor if you like.
- Toss potato slices in macadamia or coconut oil, use your hands to separate the slices so as many get covered in oil as possible. Place parchment/baking paper on two flat roasting trays and place potato slices in a single layer, overlapping each other slightly if needed. Bake at 170 C for 20-25 minutes and then turn the chips over.
- Bake for another 20 minutes or even longer if you want them very crunchy.
Spicy beef –
- Heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add onion and chili and saute for 5 minutes, until golden. Add the beef and bring the heat to high.
- Cook and stir with a spatula for 5 minutes, separating the pieces along the way.
- Then add the rest of ingredients, stir and bring to boil.
- Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, with a lid on, stirring regularly.
Tomato salsa & guacamole –
- Combine salsa ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Prepare the guacamole and set aside.
- Finally, assemble the nachos in the following order.
- Place the beef in the middle of a large, deep platter. Make a well in the middle and push the beef outwards.
- Add tomato salsa around the beef and place the chips on the edges of the platter.
