Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325℉.

Step 2

Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Toss the sweet potato slices with oil. Place slices in a single layer on the baking sheet taking care not to crowd them then sprinkle with salt.

Step 3

Place baking sheets in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through cooking time, or until slices are lightly browned and crisp on the edges.

Step 4

Remove chips to a wire cooling rack to rest while you repeat with the remaining sweet potato slices.

Step 5

Layer ½ of the sweet potato chips (homemade or store-bought) onto a baking sheet or in a glass baking dish.

Step 6

Top with ½ of the chicken or taco meat, beans or corn if using, and cheese.

Step 7

Repeat with this layer, ending with cheese on top. Place baking sheet or dish into the oven and bake 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Step 8

While the nachos are baking, combine all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 9

Remove pan from oven, add salsa, diced tomatoes, sliced or diced onions, chopped cilantro, avocado or guacamole, etc.

Step 10

Drizzle Southwest Ranch Dressing over nachos and serve with lime wedges, if desired.
