Description
A comforting bowl filled with roasted sweet potatoes, savory spiced beef, creamy guacamole, and fresh pico de gallo, perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced (about 400–450 g total)
- 1 pound (454 g) ground beef (85% lean recommended)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the diced sweet potatoes with the olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the sweet potato cubes in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for about 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat while the potatoes roast. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes).
- Drain excess fat if desired, then stir in the taco seasoning and a splash (1–2 tablespoons) of water. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the seasoning is well distributed.
- Assemble each bowl: place roasted sweet potatoes at the bottom, top with spiced ground beef, add 1/4 cup guacamole, 1/4 cup pico de gallo, and sprinkle with shredded cheese and cilantro if using.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
For a healthier option, swap ground beef for ground turkey or add black beans for a vegetarian version. Adjust seasoning as taco seasoning blends vary in salt content.
