Chef notes
Nacho time! In my slimmed down version, I said "ta-ta" to fried triangular tortillas, and subbed in thin and crispy sweet potato slices. You'll get a shot of beta carotene and fiber, so you can feel good about digging in. Add your favorite toppers for one fantastic fiesta. No utensils required.

Preparation
1.Preheat oven to 425°F. Liberally coat a baking sheet(s) with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
2.In a large mixing bowl, add sweet potato "chips" and olive oil and stir until all pieces are coated in oil (use your hands to mix, if necessary). Place on baking sheet(s) in a single layer, lightly mist tops with additional spray and evenly sprinkle on salt, garlic and paprika.
3.Bake in oven for 20 to 40 minutes on top rack, flipping halfway through. (Oven times will vary, depending upon sweet potato thickness, so watch closely to ensure they crisp up but do not burn.) Remove sweet potato rounds from oven and transfer to large skillet or oven-safe dish, allowing the edges to slightly overlap.
4.Sprinkle black beans, corn, tomatoes and chicken over the top. Next add cheese and place back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is hot and melted. Remove from oven and garnish with salsa, Greek yogurt or sour cream, avocado and scallions. Add any preferred additional toppings, such as minced cilantro, jalapeños or a squeeze of lime juice.
