Ingredients
Scale
1 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7)
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chili powder or cumin
1 packet taco seasoning
1/4 cup water or beef broth
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
2 cups cooked white or brown rice
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
Juice of 1/2 to 1 lime
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet; roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, browning it thoroughly and breaking it up with a spoon.
Stir in the taco seasoning, chili powder, and water or broth; simmer for 3-5 minutes until the liquid reduces and coats the meat.
Whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, and half of the fresh cilantro in a small bowl to create the crema.
Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked rice, roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned beef, black beans, and corn among four bowls.
Drizzle with the lime crema and garnish with remaining fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
