Ingredients

Sweet Potato Fries:

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes washed & peeled
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. cornstarch

Chicken:

  • 1/2 lb ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup onion chopped
  • 1 tsp. garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup black beans
  • 1 jalapeno sliced
  • 1 bell pepper chopped

Toppings:

  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scallion chopped (white & green parts)
  • Dash of crushed red pepper flakes

Avocado Mix:

  • 1/2 cup avocado
  • 1/4 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1/2-1 tbsp lime juice to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and cut into fry-shaped slices. Approximately 1/4 inch thick or so. Try your best to cut them all into evenly thick slices so that they will bake evenly.
  • Place the fries into a large Ziploc bag. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch into the bag at a time and shake the bag well to evenly coat the fries.
  • Add the olive oil, shake very well, and then add the remaining seasonings. Shake the bag again to evenly mix the seasonings over the fries.
  • Cover a cookie sheet or baking sheet with parchment paper and place the fries in a single layer evenly apart from one another. If they are not spaced out- they will not cook thoroughly. You will have softer fries, rather than crispy fries.
  • Place the sheet into the oven to bake for 15 minutes, then flip so that they can cook on each side. I find that it is easiest if you layer and space the fries so that they are in rows. This makes flipping them with a spatula halfway through much easier. Place them back into the oven for an additional 12-15 minutes, watching at the 10 minute mark. Time will be dependent on how thick of slices you made. You will know when they are done.

While your fries are baking...

  • Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • While the pan is heating, combine the ground chicken, seasonings, minced garlic & onion into a bowl and stir well. Once the pan is heated, spray with non-stick cooking spray (I use Grapeseed Oil for medium-heat cooking) and add the chicken mixture. Cover and allow to cook, stirring frequently.
  • While the chicken is cooking, mash together the avocado, parsley and lime juice and set aside until needed.
  • Once the chicken mixture is close to done- reduce heat to medium-low. Add the jalapeno slices, diced tomatoes, bell pepper, and black beans. Stir to mix and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the fries from the oven and pile the toppings on!
