Ingredients
– 2 teaspoons chili powder
– 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika (optional hot smoked paprika for extra spice)
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon kosher salt
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– ¼ teaspoon cayenne powder (optional)
– 450 grams peeled and cubed sweet potatoes
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 450 grams extra lean ground beef
– 425 grams black beans (drained and rinsed)
– 300 grams corn (canned or fresh)
– 250 grams cherry or large tomatoes
– 1 sliced avocado
Instructions
1-Preheat oven and prepare sweet potatoes with seasoning: Getting started with this recipe is straightforward and fun. To prepare, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). First, mix the spices in a small bowl and toss the sweet potato cubes with vegetable oil and half the seasoning mix for even coating.
2-Bake until tender, about 15-20 minutes: Bake the sweet potatoes for 15-20 minutes until they are tender, flipping once for the best results.
3-Cook ground beef and mix in beans and corn: While the potatoes bake, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, then drain excess fat, leaving about one tablespoon in the pan to keep things flavorful. Next, add the black beans, corn, and remaining seasoning to the skillet and heat through until everything is warm and well combined.
4-Assemble bowls with all ingredients: Serve the sweet potatoes, beef mixture, tomatoes, and sliced avocado together in bowls for a family-style meal that’s easy to customize.
5-Add garnishes and serve fresh: Optional garnishes like sour cream, jalapeños, green onions, cilantro, lime slices, or feta cheese can add extra flair.
