Sweet Potato Bites with Guacamole and Bacon
Why choose between guacamole and salsa when you could have both? Roasted sweet potatoes with a light coating of spices work as the base for a pile of guacamole and salsa with just a little bacon on top – no tortilla chips necessary. Recipe from Paleo Leap
