Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. If desired, drain the excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning with 2 tablespoons of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  3. As the beef cooks, chop the fresh ingredients for the toppings. Combine diced tomatoes, chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice in a bowl to create pico de gallo.
