Sweet Potato Nachos
Often Saturday night is nacho night in our house. This version can easily be made into a low-FODMAP recipe that can work in your specific IBS diet.
And while sometimes we just go for the real thing with corn chips and all the toppings, this sweet potato version is a great alternative!
With a sweet potato base and lots of veggies mixed into the minced meat topping, you can enjoy a comfort food with a good extra serving of veggies.
The best part is, that the toppings are extremely customizable. Can’t do onion? Leave it out and up the green onion as garnish. Or swap it for the green part of a leek.
Have a bunch of leftovers in the fridge? Throw them on!
Or maybe sweet potato is tricky? Do ⅓ sweet potato and ⅔ regular potato.
