Taco-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 1/2 onion diced
- 1 tomato diced
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1 cup lettuce fresh, shredded
- salsa fresh
Taco Seasoning
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 F.
- Scrub and pat potatoes dry. Pierce potatoes all over with a fork and bake in the oven, directly on rack, until soft (about 40 to 45 min. depending on the size of your potatoes).
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the taco seasoning.
- Melt some cooking fat in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the onions and cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning onto the beef, and stir to combine. You may want to add 1 or 2 tbsp. of water if the meat is too dry or the seasoning is not mixing well.
- Cook the ground beef another minute or two and set aside.
- Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit in each potato and push ends of each potato toward each other to open.
- Fill the potatoes with the ground beef and top with all the remaining vegetables.
- Serve with fresh homemade salsa.
