  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey or beef
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and rub them with the tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Bake the sweet potatoes for 40 to 45 minutes until they are tender.
  4. While the potatoes bake, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Sauté the diced onion for about 3 minutes, until softened and translucent.
  6. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  7. Add the ground turkey or beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked through.
  8. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, along with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Add black beans, corn, and either tomato sauce or salsa, then let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
  10. Once baked, slice open the sweet potatoes and fluff the insides with a fork.
  11. Spoon the taco filling into each sweet potato generously.
  12. Top with diced avocado, Greek yogurt or sour cream, chopped cilantro, and shredded lettuce. Serve warm with lime wedges and extra salsa on the side.

Notes

For creamier insides, consider adding butter or a dairy-free alternative. If desired, adjust for spice with jalapeños or cayenne.
