Ingredients

For the Roasted Sweet Potatoes

• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Garlic powder, to taste

• Paprika, to taste

For the Taco Beef

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2-3 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning)

For the Street Corn Mixture

• 1 (15-ounce) can sweet corn, drained

• 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (1.5 teaspoon minced dried cilantro if you don't have freshly chopped)

• 2 tablespoons sour cream

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

• Juice of ½ lime

• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

• Tajin -or- Chile lime seasoning, to taste

For Serving

• Sliced avocado

• Additional cilantro, if desired

• Lime wedges

Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the diced sweet potatoes in an even layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and optional paprika.

Roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized around the edges.

Step 2: Cook the Taco Beef

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.

Stir in the taco seasoning according to package directions and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until well combined.

Step 3: Make the Street Corn Topping

In a medium bowl, combine the corn, diced jalapeño, cilantro, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), mayonnaise, lime juice, Cotija cheese, and chile lime seasoning. Stir until everything is evenly coated and season to taste.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

Divide the roasted sweet potatoes among serving bowls. Top with the seasoned taco beef and a generous scoop of the street corn mixture.

Finish with sliced avocado, extra cilantro, a dash more of Tajin, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice if desired.

Notes

• Plain Greek yogurt works beautifully in place of sour cream for a lighter option.

• These bowls store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them a great meal prep recipe for busy weeks.

• Add black beans, shredded lettuce, or diced tomatoes for even more taco-inspired flavor. And serve chips + salsa on the side!

I love serving these bowls with extra avocado and chips+salsa on the side. The combination of smoky taco beef, sweet roasted potatoes, and creamy street corn creates the perfect balance of flavors in every bite.
