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 15 minutes. Flip and roast for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and tender.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef (or turkey/lentils) over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if using meat, then add taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Prepare the toppings by mixing together diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, lime juice, and chopped cilantro for the pico de gallo. Mash avocados with lime juice and a pinch of salt for guacamole. Set aside.
  4. Assemble your taco bowl by adding roasted sweet potatoes as the base, topped with seasoned meat or lentils, pico de gallo, and guacamole.
  5. Drizzle with sour cream or a dairy-free alternative if desired. Serve with lime wedges and enjoy with crispy tortilla chips.
