How to Make Loaded Sweet Potato Beef Bowls

Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and poke several holes with a fork. Slice them in half lengthwise.

Brush the cut side with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Place them cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes, or until fork tender.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the diced onion and cook until softened.

Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

Season with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Finish with fresh lime juice and stir well.

Step 3: Make the Pico de Gallo

Combine diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl.

Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes for the flavors to develop.

Step 4: Blend the Sauce

Blend together the Greek yogurt, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, light mayo, water, and salt until smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Assemble the Bowls

Place one roasted sweet potato half into each bowl.

Top with seasoned beef, fresh pico de gallo, avocado slices, and drizzle generously with the creamy cilantro lime sauce.

Serve immediately and enjoy.
