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)
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- ½ cup pico de gallo
- ¼ cup guacamole
- 2 tbsp sour cream (or dairy-free alternative)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
- Flip the potatoes and roast for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender.
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef or protein of choice. Stir in taco seasoning and water, simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Divide roasted sweet potatoes into bowls. Top with seasoned meat, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. Optionally, add cilantro or lime juice.
Notes
For extra crispy sweet potatoes, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. Adding a pinch of cinnamon during roasting enhances sweetness.
