Ingredients

For The Sweet Potatoes

  • 1 ½ pounds Sweet Potatoes, diced
  • 2 TBSP Olive Oil
  • ½ tsp. Chili Powder
  • ¼ tsp. Salt
  • ¼ tsp. Cumin
  • ⅛-¼ tsp. Chipotle Chili Powder

For The Beef

  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1 pound Ground Beef (I like 93% lean)
  • 1 pkg. Taco Seasoning (I like Siete Mild)

For The Bowls

  • 1 (15 oz) can Black Beans
  • 2-3 cups Shredded Lettuce OR Cilantro Lime Slaw
  • 1 Avocado, sliced (or Guacamole)
  • Cotija or Cheddar Cheese (optional--omit for dairy-free!)

Extras To Try (Optional)

  • 2-3 cups Cooked Rice (I like Cilantro-Lime Rice)
  • Salsa OR Cilantro Lime Ranch
  • Jalapeño Slices or Fajita Veggies
  • Pickled Red Onions

Instructions

  • ROAST SWEET POTATOES. Preheat oven to 400° F. In a large bowl, combine sweet potato cubes, olive oil, chili powder, salt, cumin, and chipotle chili powder. Stir to combine, then spread out in an even layer on a sheet pan. Roast 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking.
  • WHILE POTATOES ROAST, COOK BEEF. Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. If needed, drain extra fat from the pan (I never need to since I use lean beef). Add taco seasoning and any water called for in your mix and cook 2-3 min more, until evenly coated and sauce has thickened.
  • BUILD YOUR BOWLS. When the sweet potatoes are roasted and the beef is cooked, layer rice, beans, beef, sweet potatoes, and your favorite toppings, like cilantro-lime slaw, avocado, or salsa.
  • SERVE & STORE. Enjoy right away. Store leftovers in separate airtight containers in the fridge. Beef & sweet potatoes will stay fresh 3-4 days in the fridge.
