  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning divided (store-bought or homemade) https://flavormosaic.com/homemade-taco-seasoning/

Ground Beef

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup guacamole https://flavormosaic.com/game-day-guacamole/
  • 1 cup street corn salad https://flavormosaic.com/elote-mexican-street-corn-salad/
  • 1 15-ounce can seasoned black beans warmed and drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

Roast the Sweet Potatoes

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon taco seasoning until evenly coated. Roast for 45 minutes, stirring once or twice, until tender with caramelized edges.

Cook The Ground Beef

  • Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon taco seasoning and water. Let simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until thickened and well coated.

Assemble the Bowl

  • To assemble, divide the roasted sweet potatoes among bowls and top with the seasoned ground beef.
  • Finish with shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, street corn salad, seasoned black beans, cilantro, tomatoes, green onions, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
