Description
A cozy and healthy taco bowl featuring roasted sweet potatoes as the base, combined with seasoned ground turkey or beef, topped with fresh vegetables and sauces for a fulfilling meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium to large sweet potatoes, peeled or unpeeled
- 1 pound ground turkey or ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 can black beans
- 1 cup corn
- 2 cups romaine or shredded lettuce
- 1 cup salsa or pico de gallo
- 1 medium avocado or guacamole
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 medium lime
Instructions
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cube sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional chili powder or smoked paprika. Spread sweet potatoes on a sheet pan, ensuring they are not crowded. Roast for 22 to 30 minutes, flipping once, until tender with browned edges.
- Cook Taco Meat: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the ground turkey or beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Once mostly cooked, sprinkle in taco seasoning and add a splash of water or broth. Let it simmer for a few minutes to create a light sauce that coats the meat.
- Assemble Taco Bowl: Start with roasted sweet potatoes as the base in each bowl. Add a scoop of the taco meat on top. Layer greens, beans, corn, salsa, avocado, and a drizzle of Greek yogurt or sauce. Finish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
Notes
Customize your taco bowl with different toppings or proteins. For added crunch, consider crushed tortilla chips or radish slices.
