  • 1 cup frozen sweet corn
  • 3 ounce multigrain tortilla chips enough for a single layer
  • 0.5 teaspoon butter
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1.5 cups milk divided

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Turn the grill to medium-high heat. Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork. Microwave wrapped in a paper towel on high for 4 minutes. Once cool, cut into wedges and toss with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, and salt to taste. Grill wedges a few minutes per side until roasted and tender.
  • Warm the refried black beans on the stove or microwave until hot. Roast the frozen sweet corn in a dry nonstick skillet until golden brown. On a large platter, arrange tortilla chips in a single layer. Top with grilled sweet potato wedges, black beans, and roasted corn.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Heat 3/4 cup of the milk until simmering. Whisk remaining 3/4 cup milk with flour and slowly add to saucepan, stirring until sauce is smooth and thickened. Remove from heat and stir in salt and shredded cheese until melted. Drizzle cheese sauce over nachos and garnish with chopped cilantro and crumbled Cotija cheese.

Notes

For extra flavor, add sliced jalapeños or a squeeze of fresh lime over the top before serving.
