Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, flip, then roast for another 10-15 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning with a splash of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  3. Prepare pico de gallo by dicing tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. In another bowl, mash avocados with lime juice for guacamole. Set aside sour cream and have all toppings ready.
  4. Assemble bowls with roasted sweet potatoes at the bottom, followed by spiced beef, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.
  5. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges and tortilla chips.
