Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the diced potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer.
  2. Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  3. While the potatoes roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped red onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the minced beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  5. Stir in the paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Add the tomato paste and water. Stir well to combine and simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the mashed avocados with chopped coriander, diced red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper for the guacamole. Mix well.
  8. In another small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes with chopped coriander, diced red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper for the salsa. Mix well.
  9. To assemble the bowls, divide the roasted potatoes among four bowls. Top with the seasoned beef mixture, guacamole, salsa, and grated cheese.
  10. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side, if desired.
