Prep: 13 min | Cook: 31 min | Total: 44 min | Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 2½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 lime
- A pinch of salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Slice sweet potatoes into thin ⅛-inch rounds. Toss with half the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread in a single layer on baking sheets and roast about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Break it up and brown for about 4 minutes.
- Stir in salsa and smoked paprika. Continue cooking for 5–7 minutes, until the beef is fully cooked and the liquid has reduced.
- Chop the cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.
- Arrange the sweet potato rounds on a platter. Top with the beef mixture, cilantro, guacamole, and a squeeze of lime.
