Ground Beef & Roasted Sweet Potato Taco Bowls with Avocado Crema

February 26, 2021 Comments Off on Ground Beef & Roasted Sweet Potato Taco Bowls with Avocado Crema

Delicious, easy ground beef & roasted sweet potatoes taco bowls are a meal for the entire family to enjoy. This healthy Whole30 & Paleo compliant taco bowl recipe is protein packed & full of flavor.

This beef taco bowl makes for a quick (but extremely satisfying) throw-together dinner on busy weeknights and weekends alike!

Ingredients

  • Ground Beef – you’ll need 1 pound of ground beef for this recipe!
  • Spices + Seasonings – we’ll combine mild chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, sea salt, and ground black pepper to make a quick, homemade taco seasoning that’ll give this taco meat & the roasted sweet potatoes a bold, Mexican-inspired flavor!
  • Onions & Red Peppers– diced onions & red peppers will cook into our taco meat. They can also serve as an added garnish if used raw before serving.
  • Zucchini– We are enhancing our taco meat by tossing in some extra vegetables.
  • Sweet Potatoes: To make this paleo/Whole30 we are swapping rice with sweet potatoes.
  • Avocado – This recipe is more than your typical recipe with avocado. We are making a delicious, dairy free, avocado crema to top this taco bowl!
  • Cilantro – Always.
  • Garlic – to increase the flavor.
  • Pepita/Pumpkin Seeds – The avocado crema is made creamy with a nut base made from Pepitas. Sub raw Cashews.
  • Lime Juice
  • Salsa- What is a taco bowl without your favorite salsa? I recommend a salsa verde or Pico de Gallo.

How to jazz up your beef taco bowl.

While this beef taco bowl with roasted sweet potatoes & dairy free avocado crema comes FULLY loaded. There is always room for more toppings.

Try adding: Jalapenos, sour cream (if not Whole30), hot sauce, or spicy ranch.

Can I use Ground Turkey or Chicken instead of Beef in this taco bowl?

Yes. Swap out the ground beef for a pound of ground turkey or ground chicken.

How To make these friendly for little mouths:

  • Chili Powder can be considered spicy to kiddos. Make this less spicy by roasting some of the sweet potatoes without the taco seasoning. Try garlic powder & salt only.
  • Remove a serving of beef & veggies before adding in the taco seasoning. You can also rinse off the meat & veggies before serving if they do get seasoned.
  • Serve with a side of brown rice or diced avocado

Method
 

Seasoned & Roasted Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°
  2. Place your sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet. Add the oil & Seasonings. Toss to coat all the sweet potatoes and then spread out into a single layer. You don't want any potatoes overlapping or you'll end up with steamed potatoes instead of roasted potatoes. Cook for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Beef Taco Meat
  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add peppers & onions, sauté the vegetables until soft and turning golden, stirring occasionally. About 5-6 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef, and begin to break up. Cook until the meat is partially cooked through, about 5 minutes
  3. Add the zucchini, cook for another 3 minutes.
  4. Lastly, add the seasonings, tomato paste & water. Stir to combine and cook until fragrant and the water is absorbed. About 5 minutes
Avocado Crema
  1. Combine all the ingredients into a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth
Assembly
  1. When ready to serve, place a layer of sweet potatoes into a bowl. Top with taco meat, avocado crema & any additional garnishes. Enjoy!
