Main Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey or beef
2 small sweet potatoes (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 green pepper (chopped)
1 bell pepper (any color, chopped)
½ red onion (chopped)
1 jalapeño (seeded and chopped)
2 small Roma tomatoes (chopped)
1 cup black beans (or beans of choice, cooked)
1–2 Tbsp water

Taco Seasoning

2 tsp chili powder
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp crushed red pepper
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Roast sweet potatoes on a sheet pan for 30–40 minutes, until fork-tender.
In a cast iron skillet, sauté onion and garlic until softened (5–10 minutes). Mix taco seasoning in a small bowl while this cooks.
Add ground turkey or beef to skillet. Cook until no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté peppers, jalapeño, and tomatoes until soft.
Return meat to skillet. Add beans, seasoning blend, and water. Stir to combine.
Gently fold in roasted sweet potatoes last to avoid mashing.
Serve with Siete tortillas, tortilla chips, or over romaine, spinach, or rice.
Top with Greek yogurt, salsa, and avocado as desired.
