Y’all, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight craving that’ll make your taste buds dance – the Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos! Trust me, this isn’t your regular midnight snack; it’s what dreams are made of, and I’m spilling all the tea on how to make it.
First things first, can we talk about how this recipe came to be? After one too many late-night Netflix binges, I needed something more exciting than plain old chips. And honey, did I strike gold or what?
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 medium sweet potatoes
– Olive oil (just a drizzle, we’re being somewhat healthy-ish 😉)
– Taco seasoning
– Black beans (drained and rinsed)
– Shredded cheese (lots of it, because duh!)
– Diced tomatoes
– Sliced jalapeños
– Sour cream
– Fresh cilantro
– Diced avocado
Now, let’s get cooking, girlfriend!
1. Slice those sweet potatoes thin (like, paper-thin if you can). Pro tip: use a mandoline slicer if you have one, but watch those fingers!
1. Toss the slices with olive oil and taco seasoning. Spread them on a baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap (nobody likes soggy nachos, am I right?).
1. Bake at 425°F for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. We want them crispy, not burnt – there’s a difference!

1. Once they’re crispy, pile on those black beans and cheese. Pop it back in the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese gets all melty and gorgeous.
1. Now for the fun part! Load it up with all those toppings. I like to go crazy with the avocado because… well, it’s avocado! 🥑
The best part? You can customize this baby however you want. Want to add chicken? Go for it! Vegetarian? Skip the meat and double up on beans. It’s your kitchen, your rules!
Let me tell you, this isn’t just any midnight snack – it’s the kind that’ll have you doing a happy dance in your kitchen at 2 AM. And yes, I’ve totally done that, no shame!
