1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp salsa your favorite kind
1/3 cup no salt added tomato sauce

Sweet Potatoes:

1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes approx. 3 medium, peeled and cubed 1/2" in size
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2-1 tsp salt to taste
1/2 tsp black pepper to taste
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika

For Serving:

1-2 avocados sliced or diced

Instructions

Sweet Potatoes:

Preheat air fryer to 400℉. Toss cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2-1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through, until tender and slightly crisp. Don't overcrowd, otherwise they won't crisp up. Work in batches if needed.

Beef:

In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tbsp of olive oil. Once heated, add the diced peppers and onions. Cook 5-7 minutes, until softened. Add the ground beef and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Cook until the beef has browned. Season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp ground cumin, 2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tbsp your favorite salsa, and 1/3 cup tomato sauce. Simmer 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Assemble:

Divide the sweet potatoes between 4 bowls. Top with beef mixture, diced avocado, pico de gallo, and a dollop of greek yogurt. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Notes

Using 3 sweet potatoes gives approximately 3/4 medium potato per serving.
This is great for meal prep. Simply store the items separately.
Adjust the spice levels to taste. Add jalapeños or season with cayenne pepper if desired.
If you don't have an air fryer, roast sweet potatoes at 425℉ in oven or 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
