Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ½ lb ground beef (or turkey/lentils for a veggie option)
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- ½ cup pico de gallo
- ¼ cup guacamole
- 2 tbsp sour cream (or a dairy-free alternative)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Flip them over and roast for another 10–15 minutes, until they are golden and tender.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up as you go. Once cooked through, stir in the taco seasoning with a splash of water (about 2 tablespoons). Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened and fragrant.
- Divide the roasted sweet potatoes among serving bowls. Top each with seasoned beef, pico de gallo, guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime if desired.
Notes
Feel free to customize the toppings and add vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini when roasting for added nutrition.
