Description

A vibrant and delicious Sweet Potato Taco Bowl featuring roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned beef, and fresh toppings, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • 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
  • 2 tbsp sour cream (or dairy-free alternative)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potato with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a prepared sheet pan.
  4. Roast for 15 minutes, then flip the sweet potatoes.
  5. Roast for an additional 10–15 minutes until golden and tender.
  6. While the sweet potatoes roast, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat.
  7. Add taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water to the beef and simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
  8. In serving bowls, divide the roasted sweet potatoes and top with cooked beef.
  9. Add pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream on top. Optionally garnish with cilantro, lime wedges, or cheese.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute lentils for the beef. Customize with additional toppings such as jalapeños or bell peppers for added flavor.
