Change it up next game day with these Loaded Guacamole Sweet Potato Fries. Mexican meets healthy in this vibrant and delicious game day or appetizer recipe!If you caught my post last week, you know that I spent the first part of January at an amazing fitness and wellness resort in Malibu. If the post didn’t make it abundantly clear, I had an amazing time and it was the perfect way to kick off a New Year with a healthy refocus.

It was such a luxury to not be in the kitchen for a week and have a chef cooking all of our meals for us. I am incredibly grateful for the experience and was blown away by the meals they whipped up!

However, I’m also the type of person who likes having a degree of control over my meals. Me? A control freak in the kitchen? Whoda guessed it?

I’ll let that one sink in…

Change it up next game day with these Loaded Guacamole Sweet Potato Fries. Mexican meets healthy in this vibrant and delicious game day or appetizer recipe! You'll never go back to regular ole' sweet potato fries...By the end of the week at Wellfit I only had two things on my mind, sweet potatoes and avocados. I actually missed avocados so much that I ordered the vegetarian option 4 times just because I knew it was a veggie burger that came with avocado. That’s commitment right there.

Since getting home from Wellfit, I’ve certainly made up for the fact that I was deprived of 2/3 of my favorite foods for the week (I got some cauliflower in there, don’t worry!) by eating an excessive amount of both. So much so that I just started mixing them together, which was when I discovered the glory that is sweet potato fries + guacamole.

HOLY GUACAMOLE where have these loaded guacamole sweet potato fries been all of my life?!

Change it up next game day with these Loaded Guacamole Sweet Potato Fries. Mexican meets healthy in this vibrant and delicious game day or appetizer recipe! You'll never go back to regular ole' sweet potato fries...Then the other night we hosted a couple of friends for “Latin-Night” aka a throwback to last year’s trip to Costa Rica. As part of this delicious affair, I whipped up my Best Ever Pico de Gallo, which then sparked the idea of adding this to the sweet potato-guacamole mix.

It also meant that I could refer to this dish as “loaded”, which makes me laugh every time because all I can think of is “Herbie Fully Loaded”, a true Lindsay Lohan classic.

Having had this as a side dish with dinner 3 times now, I decided now would be the perfect time to post it since it seems like something one might eat while watching the SuperBowl. I don’t have the will-power to wait until February 7th to eat these again, nor do I particularly care about football. But now that Beyonce is playing the halftime show, you better bet I’ll be celebrating with this recipe. Who’s with me?!

    GIF LOVE. Also, I always look for menu options with guac, so I’d do the same thing 😉

    Sweet tater fries twins this week! I’ll trade you some guac for sweet chili? ( I know, it’s not really a fair trade) :-p

    Sweet potato and guac are like a match made in heaven!
    David and I are football fans so will be watching the football… Little differently this year… Will be watching it live at 6.30am on Monday morning! Used to watching it at 11pm in the UK! So I need good brekkie options!

    Davida, these look so so good! Sweet potato and guacamole is the best combination. I miss me some nut butters when I am away! And I realise how much I actually eat when I am away from it…!
