Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups Sweet Potatoes (Cubed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Or avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika (Or regular paprika)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 pound Ground Beef (Options include turkey, chicken, or black beans)
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (Feel free to use homemade or store-bought)
Toppings
- 1 cup Pico de Gallo (Dice tomatoes, onion, and cilantro)
- 1 cup Guacamole (Make a simple mix of mashed avocado with lime juice)
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream (Or Greek yogurt)
- Optional Toppings (Crumbled cheese, lime wedges, tortilla chips)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast sweet potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are tender and slightly crispy.
Cooking
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef (or your protein choice) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Stir in taco seasoning and cook for 2-3 minutes more until well blended with the meat.
Assembly
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, it’s time to assemble your taco bowls. Start with a generous scoop of sweet potatoes at the bottom.
- Top with seasoned meat, followed by pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.
- Finish off with optional toppings of your choice, such as crumbled cheese, lime wedges, or crushed tortilla chips for added crunch.
Notes
For a complete meal, consider pairing it with a side salad or corn on the cob. Fresh toppings like guacamole and sour cream are best added just before serving. Feel free to try different spices or a drizzle of sriracha for added heat.
