Instructions

Follow directions to bake sweet potato fries. For Alexia fries: Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease an extra-large, 15x21-inch sheet pan (or 2 smaller sheet pans) with cooking spray and generously space fries so they can get nice and crispy. Flip halfway through the bake time.
Once baked, position all fries closely together on sheet pan. Sprinkle beans, then corn, and cheese in an even layer over all the fries. Bake another 5–10 minutes or until cheese is nicely melted.
Meanwhile, zest and juice lime to get 1/4 teaspoon zest and 1-1/2 tablespoons juice. In a small bowl, combine zest and juice with all sauce ingredients and, using a whisk, briskly whisk together until smooth. Season to taste. (I add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.) Set out toppings.
Remove the nachos and top immediately with desired toppings—I love a chopped avocado, cilantro, a light sprinkle of Cotija, and lots of sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: I love these Alexia Crinkle Cut Sweet Potato Fries in this recipe. Here’s where to check if your local store carries them.

Don’t overcrowd the pan: if the sweet potato fries are too close to each other or overlapping, they’ll steam instead of roast. Use 2 sheet pans if needed.

Storage: Nachos don’t sit well, so have the toppings ready before pulling them from the oven. Once the cheese melts, top quickly and enjoy immediately. If you’re worried about leftovers, halve the recipe!
