00:24For the sweet potato chips, you'll need to slice two large or three small sweet potatoes

00:34Then toss with avocado oil on a baking sheet and sprinkle with kosher salt.

00:38For the nacho toppings, you'll need to combine one cup each of canned black beans and pinto beans,

00:44drained and rinsed, one to two cups of shredded Mexican blend or Monterey Jack cheese,

00:49half to one diced yellow, orange, or green bell pepper,

00:52one diced tomato or about 15 diced cherry tomatoes,

00:56chopped green parts of one bunch of scallions,

00:59half-diced red onion,

01:00and quarter to half bunch of finely chopped fresh cilantro.

01:04Top with one seeded and sliced jalapeno, optional,

01:07one diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.

01:12Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, 200 degrees Celsius,

01:16and line two to three baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even browning.

01:21Arrange sweet potato slices in a single layer without overlapping,

01:26brush both sides with oil, and sprinkle with kosher salt.

01:29Bake for 20 minutes, flip each slice, and bake another 10 minutes until crisp and golden.

01:35Let it cool slightly to finish crisping.

01:37Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, 175 degrees Celsius.

01:43Spread baked sweet potato chips in a single layer on an oven-safe pan,

01:47then top evenly with black beans, pinto beans, cheese, bell pepper, tomatoes, and red onion.

01:54Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles lightly without burning.
