Ingredients
– 2 tablespoons chili powder
– 1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika
– 1 tablespoon ground cumin
– 2 teaspoons kosher salt
– 1 tablespoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
– 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-2 inch cubes
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 pound extra lean ground beef
– 1 can (14 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn, from canned or fresh ears with kernels removed
– 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved or 2 large tomatoes chopped
– 1 medium avocado, sliced
Instructions
1-Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to get things going.
2-Combine seasoning: Combine the sweet smoked paprika, ground cumin, kosher salt, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl for your seasoning mix.
3-Roast sweet potatoes: Toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and half of the seasoning mix (about 2 tablespoons). Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until tender.
4-Cook beef: While the sweet potatoes bake, cook 1 pound extra lean ground beef over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked, then drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
5-Mix beef and veggies: Add the drained and rinsed black beans, 1 cup corn, and the remaining seasoning mix to the beef. Stir everything together until itβs well coated and heated through.
6-Serve: Serve by arranging the ingredients separately for a family-style meal or assemble them into individual bowls, and donβt forget optional garnishes like sour cream, jalapeΓ±os, green onion slices, cilantro, lime slices, or feta cheese crumbles.
