Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled & cubed

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey/chicken)

  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning

  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)

Pico de Gallo:

  • 3 roma tomatoes, diced

  • ½ red onion, finely diced

  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped

  • 1 jalapeño, minced (optional)

  • Juice of 1 lime + salt

Guacamole:

  • 2 ripe avocados

  • 1 small lime, juiced

  • 1 tbsp red onion, minced

  • 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped

  • Salt & pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 25–30 min, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp on the edges.

  2. Cook the Beef:
    Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat (8–10 min). Drain excess fat, add taco seasoning + ¼ cup water, and simmer 2–3 min.

  3. Make the Pico:
    Combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Let rest 10–15 min for flavors to meld.

  4. Mash the Guacamole:
    In a bowl, mash avocados with lime juice, onion, cilantro, salt, and pepper.

  5. Assemble the Bowls:
    Layer sweet potatoes, taco beef, pico, guacamole, and sour cream. Garnish with extra lime and cilantro.

Notes

  • Go veggie with black beans or tofu.

  • Add smoky heat using chipotle peppers.

  • Turn it breakfast-style: top with a fried egg and hot sauce.
