HOW TO MAKE IT
- 1. First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, wash, peel, and thinly slice the sweet potatoes. As you slice the sweet potatoes place them in a bowl of cold water.
- Cover a large baking sheet with foil, place a wire rack on top, and spray with oil. Pat dry the sweet potatoes and place them in a thin layer on the wire rack. You may need two wire racks to fit all of the sweet potato slices. Drizzle with 1 and 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges of the sweet potatoes begin to crisp.
- Remove pan from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Place the sweet potato chips on a baking sheet sprayed with oil. Top with beans, corn, and Cacique® Queso Fresco. Bake for 10 minutes. Once baked top with your favorite veggies, salsa, cilantro, and Cacique® Crema Mexicana. Serve immediately and enjoy!
