Bean and Sweet Potato Nachos image

A good twist on traditional nachos, these come from Linda McCartneys World Of Vegetarian Cooking. In fact, I did not make the sweet potato part, but I did make the rest of the recipe, and really loved the tomato/bean sauce. Omitting the sweet potatoes decreases cooking time by approx 60 minutes. I used only one whole green pepper, since I had no red pepper. I also made a spicy avocado guacamole, (see notes at end of recipe), and whipped some sour cream to accompany this, we loved it. Hope you enjoy them too!

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 lb sweet potato, peeled and diced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 medium onion, sliced thinly
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 small red chili, de-seeded and finely chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
400 g tinned chopped tomatoes
1/2 medium red pepper, diced
1/2 medium green pepper, diced
280 g tinned red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
225 g tortilla chips (corn)
225 g cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped coriander, leaf
1 medium avocado, peeled, stoned and sliced
125 ml sour cream
1 fresh tomato, peeled and chopped
3 drops hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large baking dish, mix the sweet potato, 2 tblsp of oil, cumin and coriander seeds, and bake, uncovered, at 180C/350F/gas mark 4, for 50-60 minutes until tender. (NB I did not make this part of the recipe)(If you also choose to omit this step, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4 now.).
  • Heat the remaining oil gently in a pan and add the onion, garlic, chilli and paprika.
  • Cover and cook until the onion is soft, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the tomatoes with their juice, and the peppers, and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the beans.
  • Divide the corn chips between four individual ovenproof dishes, top with the bean mixture, then the sweet potato, and finish with the cheese.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until the nachos are well heated through, and the cheese has melted.
  • Serve sprinkled with coriander, with avocado and soured cream served separately.
  • NOTE: I made a simple guacamole with the avocado.
  • I mashed it with a tblsp lemon juice, then I added a chopped fresh tomato, a few drops of hot pepper sauce, and some ground salt and pepper.
  • I beat some lemon juice into a cup of cream.(I used more than recipe states, I like sour cream!).
  • I then served these separately, they were delicious with the nachos!
