Ingredients
  

For the Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp chili powder use less if sensitive to spice
  • 1 tbsp sweet smoked paprika or hot smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp kosher salt adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne powder optional
For the Bowl
  • 1 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and chopped into 1-2 inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lbs extra lean ground beef
  • 1 14 oz. can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn canned or fresh kernels
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved or 2 large tomatoes chopped
  • 1 medium avocado sliced

Equipment

  • Oven
  • small bowl
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  3. Toss the sweet potato cubes with vegetable oil and about half of the seasoning mixture (approximately 2 tablespoons). Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are baking, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, until browned. Drain off excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet. Add the black beans, corn, and the remaining seasoning mixture to the skillet. Stir well to coat everything. Continue to cook until the beans and corn are heated through.
  5. To serve, you can arrange all the components in separate dishes for a family-style meal, or assemble individual bowls.
  6. Top your bowls with the cooked sweet potatoes, the seasoned beef and bean mixture, cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado. Add any other desired garnishes like sour cream, jalapeños, green onions, cilantro, feta cheese, or lime slices.
