  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced

Instructions
 

Prepare the sweet potatoes:

  • Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Roast or steam until tender (about 20-25 minutes for roasting at 400°F).

Cook the ground beef:

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened (about 3 minutes). Add ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

Combine the ingredients:

  • Once the beef is browned and fully cooked, add the cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir until evenly mixed. Let everything heat together for 3-4 minutes.

Garnish and serve:

  • Plate the dish, garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream for extra creaminess if desired.
