Description
A comforting and flavorful meal combining sweet potatoes with savory taco seasoned beef.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. ground beef
- ½ a white onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 oz canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 sweet potatoes
- Olive oil
- Optional toppings: Guacamole, cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes clean, then pat them dry. Poke a few holes in each potato with a fork, rub them with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place them on a lined baking pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, until tender.
- In a large sauté pan, heat a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until tender. Stir in the ground beef and seasonings (chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper). Cook until the beef is browned.
- Pour in the undrained canned tomatoes and let the mixture cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated (about 5-7 minutes).
- Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, slice them in half lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Spoon the flavorful beef filling generously into each potato half.
- Top with your favorite garnishes like guacamole, cheese, pico de gallo, or sour cream and enjoy!
Notes
Can substitute ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter option. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
