Description

A nutritious and flavorful mix of roasted sweet potatoes, savory beef (or a meat alternative), vibrant toppings, and plenty of customizable options.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ lb ground beef (or turkey/lentils for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning (or homemade)
  • ½ cup pico de gallo
  • ¼ cup guacamole
  • 2 tbsp sour cream (or dairy-free alternative)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cubed sweet potato with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, then flip and roast for another 10-15 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef (or meat alternative), breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, then add taco seasoning and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Assemble bowls by dividing roasted sweet potatoes among them, topping with cooked beef, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. Garnish with cilantro, lime wedges, or crumbled cheese if desired.

Notes

Feel free to customize the toppings and experiment with different garnishes for added flavor.
