Steak Sweet Potato Nachos Recipe (2024)

Steak over nachos might not seem like a Paleo recipe at first glance but look a little bit closer. The ingredients in this dish, while reminiscent of stadium nachos, provide a healthy and fulfilling alternative.

This dish uses sliced sweet potatoes as “nachos” and tops them with steak that’s been seasoned with delicious spices. This is a crowd-pleasing, kid-friendly recipe that works well as a party snack, appetizer, or a fun main course.

The sweet potatoes used in this recipe are a wonderful substitute for the non-Paleo, starchy items that are typically used in Mexican-inspired foods. They provide the dish with a healthy dose of nutrients, including Vitamins C and B6, fiber, and antioxidants, and they taste fantastic too!

During prep, there’s no need to skin the sweet potatoes – just make sure to discard the “twists” at the end to prevent burning during baking.

This dish should be served with salsa. While a quick option is to opt for store-bought, consider making a homemade avocado salsa for a fresh, healthy choice. If you are serving this dish as a main course, pair it with some other Mexican-inspired recipes for a complete meal.

Try the Spinach, Strawberry, and Avocado Salad for a fruity complement to the spice of this dish. Or, follow-up your meal with a Mango, Avocado, and Spinach Smoothie for a sweet and robust Paleo dessert.
