Ingredients

Scale

1 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 85/15)

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp ground cumin

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp chili powder (optional)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 tbsp olive oil

0.5 tsp paprika

0.5 tsp ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 tsp olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain)

2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Optional: lime juice, brown rice or quinoa, avocado or pickled onions

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly oil it.

2. Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the pan and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.

3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add ground beef, break it apart, and cook for 7–10 minutes. Add smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and cooked through.

4. In another skillet, heat oil and sauté bell peppers for 4–5 minutes until slightly softened. Season with salt and pepper.

5. To assemble, add roasted sweet potatoes, ground beef, and bell peppers to a bowl. Top with Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, and optional lime juice or toppings. Serve warm.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, swap Greek yogurt with avocado crema or dairy-free yogurt.

Don’t skip the lime — a fresh squeeze adds a bright, tangy finish.

Let beef rest for a couple minutes off the heat to keep it juicy and flavorful.
