There is nothing traditional about this recipe. But this is the way I like to make nachos! Try to grate your own cheese, it turns out much better. I served this with a little tomatillo salsa (bought) and red hot sauce.

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Coat the sweet potato and zucchini cubes in the oil, spices and tomato paste, plus a pinch of salt. Set them out on an oven tray and cook until soft, about 20 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the pico by stirring together all the ingredients in a large bowl. Put into the fridge until 10 minutes before serving.

Step 3

Prepare the guacamole by putting all ingredients in a bowl and mashing together with a fork to achieve desired consistency.

Step 4

Build nachos by placing a layer with about half the corn chips on a large oven tray first, topped with half the roasted vegetables and half the pinto beans, then topped with half of the cheese. Then top with the remaining corn chips, vegetables, beans and cheese. Bake until hot and the cheese has melted, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

Serve portions of the hot nachos, topped with pico, and with guacamole on the side. Top with the radish slices and pepitas, and any other commercial sauces you like, such as hot sauce.
