Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp hot sauce, such as sriracha
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta or cotija (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for 22 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through.
  2. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high, brown the ground beef for 6 to 8 minutes, then stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and remaining salt and pepper.
  3. Whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. Divide the sweet potatoes and beef between 4 bowls, top with cabbage, avocado, cilantro, and feta, and drizzle with the yogurt sauce.

Notes

If you want the beef with less grease, use 90/10 ground beef, though it will need a touch more olive oil in the skillet to keep it from sticking. The sauce can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge, which actually gives the lime a little more time to come through.
