A delicious twist on a loaded fry platter that won’t mess with your waistline or derail your resolutions! Need a dinner to drool over? Try these Loaded Sweet Potato Mexican Street Fries!
As the resolutions and goals of the new year bring along a desire for a healthier lifestyle, well, the fact of the matter is, it’s still a little chilly outside. For me, salads, fruit and all things fresh are what a crave through the summer months, but winter (even in Florida) brings it’s own set of challenges, like finding that sweet spot between comfort food and better choices. So while this isn’t quite in the category of salad, it’s still a plate loaded with veggies! And to be honest, you could chop some lettuce and pile it on. Voilå, a “salad” that’s perfect for the cooler months. It’s like we wrapped our favorite distressed tee in a glam sweater for a date night, the best of both all in one delicious package!! I even made a dressing for it, my Avocado Lime dressing that’s also loaded with cilantro from our blacked fish tacos recipe.
With a slightly spiced sweet potato fry, black beans and our avocado lime dressing, we’ve got the base for an amazing dish, add in more toppings, like shredded cheddar cheese, sliced tomatoes, extra cilantro and avocado slices, you can even add in corn, shredded or chopped lettuce, salsa, and if you don’t want to go meat-free, brown some ground meat or chicken and season!
I absolutely loved partnering with Horizon last year and it’s become one of those staple brands in our kitchen, because my goal is always keeping simple, recognizable ingredients in everything we make. So while I don’t always get it perfect, I make the choice everywhere and anywhere I can to give my family the best ingredients possible while making dishes they enjoy. Sometimes it’s a platter full of fries, but hey, I started with simple, raw ingredients and created something hearty from it! And you know, sometimes it’s donuts or cinnamon rolls.?
