Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 25 minutes until they are tender and golden.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef completely, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
- Once the beef is fully cooked, stir in the taco seasoning and beef broth. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until thickened, then mix in the black beans and corn, heating everything through.
- In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lime juice, and half of the cilantro. Mix well to create a zesty crema.
- To serve, layer the warm rice in bowls, top with roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned beef mixture, and a drizzle of lime crema. Finish with the remaining cilantro on top for garnish.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, consider substituting the ground beef with lentils or your favorite meat alternative. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and make for a quick meal reheated!
