Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into ⅛-inch thick
  • 1 sweet potato, sliced into ⅛-inch thick
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil, divided
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound ground beef, chicken or turkey
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups tortilla chips
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Mexican blend cheese
  • Toppings: ½ cup chopped tomatoes, ¼ cup chopped red onion, cilantro, salsa, guacamole/avocado, thinly sliced cabbage

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini and sweet potato slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Distribute on the baking sheet and sprinkle with black pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, until soft to fork.
  3. While the zucchini and sweet potatoes roast, heat the remaining ½ tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, chicken or turkey. Season with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Cook until the meat is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
  4. Remove the zucchini and sweet potatoes from the oven. Shift around the zucchini and sweet potatoes to make room for the tortilla chips. They can overlap. 
  5. Distribute the cooked ground beef, chicken or turkey on top of the zucchini, sweet potatoes and tortilla chips, then sprinkle the cheese on top.
  6. Return to the oven for 5 minutes and broil for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted.
  7. Top with chopped tomatoes, thinly sliced cabbage, red onion, guacamole, etc. Enjoy!
