It’s hearty, healthy-ish, and hits that “comfort food with a twist” sweet spot. Whether you’re meal-prepping or feeding a crowd, these bowls are endlessly customizable and downright delicious.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled + cubed

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • ½ lb ground beef (or turkey/lentils)

  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning (or homemade: see tip!)

  • ½ cup pico de gallo

  • ¼ cup guacamole

  • 2 tbsp sour cream (or dairy-free alt.)


Instructions

  1. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potato with oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a sheet pan. Roast for 15 mins, flip, and roast another 10–15 mins until golden and tender.

  2. Cook Beef: In a skillet, brown beef over medium heat. Once cooked through, add taco seasoning + 2 tbsp water. Simmer 2–3 mins until thickened.

  3. Assemble: Divide sweet potatoes into bowls. Top with beef, pico, guac, and sour cream. Garnish with cilantro, lime wedges, or crumbled cheese if desired.
