Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and golden-brown.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef for 6-8 minutes until no longer pink. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water; let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Combine diced tomatoes, chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeño and lime juice in a bowl to make pico de gallo. Let sit to meld flavors and drain excess liquid.
  4. Layer roasted sweet potatoes in a serving bowl, add taco beef, and top with pico de gallo.
  5. Finish with guacamole and sour cream. Add optional garnishes like cheese, cilantro, lime juice, or tortilla chips.
