Description

A colorful and hearty dish featuring roasted sweet potatoes, savory protein, and zesty toppings, perfect for a satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • ½ lb ground beef (or substitute with turkey or lentils)
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • ½ cup pico de gallo
  • ¼ cup guacamole

  3. Divide the roasted sweet potatoes into serving bowls. Top with the seasoned beef (or alternative), pico de gallo, guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges, or crumbled cheese if desired.
