Preheat oven to 425 F. Wash sweet potatoes and slice into 1/2 inch thick coins. Spread on two parchment-lined baking sheets then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Add to oven and bake for 20 minutes, then flip and bake another 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix ingredients together for pico de gallo and guacamole, and grate cheese.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add ground beef and taco seasoning, crumbling with a spatula and seasoning with salt & pepper to taste. Cook for 6-7 minutes until beef is cooked through.
When sweet potatoes are cooked through, add cheese overtop and cook until melted, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove from oven, then top with ground beef, pico de gallo, guacamole and pickled jalapenos. Serve with sour cream and more cilantro for garnish if desired and enjoy!
Nutritional info does not include pickled jalapenos, sour cream or extra cilantro.
Feel free to use store-bought pico de gallo or salsa and/or guacamole to save time on prep.
Bake in a single layer and don't overcrowd the pan so that the potatoes roast instead of steam.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
I don't recommend freezing the sweet potato nachos. You can freeze the cooked ground beef in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
