Sweet Potato Taco Bowl

Print Recipe

A colorful and nourishing bowl featuring roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned meat or beans, and fresh toppings.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Sweet Potatoes, cubed (about 1–1.25 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika (or regular paprika)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound Ground Beef (or turkey, chicken, or black beans)
  • 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup Pico de Gallo (diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro)
  • 1 cup Guacamole (mashed avocado with lime juice)
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • Optional Toppings: crumbled cheese, lime wedges, tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment for easier cleanup.
  2. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on the baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  4. While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until fully browned, about 6–8 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the cooked meat and add 2 tablespoons of water. Stir and simmer for 1–2 minutes.
  6. Prepare pico de gallo and guacamole. Stir lime juice into the guacamole.
  7. Assemble bowls: start with roasted sweet potatoes, add seasoned meat, spoon on pico and guacamole, and finish with sour cream.
  8. Add optional toppings like crumbled cheese and tortilla chips. Serve with warm corn tortillas, if desired.

Notes

Smoked paprika enhances the flavor; be sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet for perfect roasting. For a vegetarian option, swap in black beans.
