Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Flip and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  2. In a skillet, heat over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and water; simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Prepare toppings: Mix pico de gallo ingredients. Mash avocados with lime juice and salt to create guacamole. Have sour cream ready.
  4. Assemble bowls with a layer of roasted sweet potatoes, spiced ground beef, and dollops of pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.
  5. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges and tortilla chips.
