Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Spread diced sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss until evenly coated.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly caramelized.
- While sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until fully browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Return beef to the skillet and add taco seasoning with water according to packet instructions. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened.
- Optional: Add diced red onion and bell peppers to the beef during simmering if you prefer them slightly softened. Otherwise, keep them fresh for crunch.
- Divide roasted sweet potatoes between bowls. Top with taco beef, tomatoes, avocado, jalapeño, bell peppers, and red onion.
- Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and drizzle with dressing if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
