Ingredients

For the Taco Filling:

1 lb lean ground beef

1 white onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp ground paprika

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1 cup chunky salsa

1/2 cup water

For the Sweet Potatoes:

4 sweet potatoes

For Toppings:

Shredded mozzarella

Diced tomatoes

Mashed avocado

Sour cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then pierce with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes or until tender.

  • Cook the ground beef mixture: In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes. Stir in spices, salsa, and water, simmer for 5-7 minutes.

  • Assemble the stuffed sweet potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides. Spoon the taco beef mixture into each potato. Top with mozzarella cheese and return to the oven for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese melts.

  • Add toppings: Remove from oven and top with diced tomatoes, mashed avocado, and sour cream.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, swap ground beef with black beans, lentils, or crumbled tofu.

Add bell peppers, zucchini, or corn to the taco mixture for more veggies.

Use cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend instead of mozzarella.
