Instructions
Let’s walk through the steps to bring this delicious bowl to your table. Cooking is a journey, and each step is an opportunity to infuse love and care into your dish.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the cumin, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.
- Add the corn, bell pepper, and spinach to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the bell pepper is tender and the spinach is wilted.
- Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
- Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, divide them among bowls. Top with the beef mixture, ensuring each bowl gets a generous portion.
- Garnish with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
