Description

A colorful and satisfying bowl featuring roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned beef, and fresh toppings, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Sweet Potatoes, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 pound Ground Beef or turkey, chicken, or black beans
  • 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning
  • 1 cup Pico de Gallo
  • 1 cup Guacamole
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream or Greek yogurt
  • Optional Toppings: Crumbled cheese, lime wedges, tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet. Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, then spread in a single layer.
  2. Roast the sweet potatoes for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high and brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles.
  4. Once mostly browned, drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning and about 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Warm the pico de gallo and refresh the guacamole if desired.
  6. Assemble the bowls by adding roasted sweet potatoes and seasoned meat, then top with guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and optional toppings.
  7. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes

To keep the meal fresh, store components separately and add wet toppings just before serving.
