Gather These Simple Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
2 tsp taco seasoning
2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
1 avocado, diced
2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
1 tsp Tajin seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil
Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Let’s Make It Together

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), allowing it to warm up while we prep the sweet potatoes.
In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until they are tender and golden brown. The scent will be heavenly!
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until it’s browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Don’t forget to drain any excess fat for a leaner dish.
Stir in the taco seasoning, making sure the beef is well-coated and heated through. The aroma of the spices will fill your kitchen with a cozy warmth.
In another skillet, add the corn and sprinkle with Tajin seasoning. Cook until heated through, bringing a zesty flavor that complements the sweet potatoes and beef.
Now it’s time to assemble your bowls! Start by layering the roasted sweet potatoes at the bottom, then add the seasoned beef, followed by the Tajin-spiced corn, and finish it off with the creamy diced avocado. If you’d like, garnish with some fresh cilantro for an added pop of flavor and color. Serve immediately and enjoy the cozy embrace of this delicious meal!

Fun Ways to Customize It

Add Black Beans: For a protein-packed boost and extra creaminess, stir in some drained black beans along with the ground beef.
Zesty Lime: Squeeze some fresh lime juice over the assembled bowls for a bright, refreshing flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweet potatoes.
Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the hot layers before serving for an indulgent, gooey finish.
Crunchy Toppings: Consider adding crispy tortilla strips or crushed tortilla chips for a delightful crunch in every bite.
