Whole 30 Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Yields: 4-6 servings | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 sweet potatoes, cut lengthwise
- 1 lb ground beef (grass-fed if possible)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon ground Cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Additional salt and pepper to taste
Toppings:
- Fresh lettuce, shredded
- Avocado, chopped
- Tomatoes, chopped
- Salsa
- Cilantro
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the sweet potatoes (cut lengthwise) face down on a baking sheet. Brush the backs with olive oil and sprinkle on salt and pepper. Place in the oven for 30 minutes.
While potatoes are cooking, place ground beef in a large skillet and cook on medium high heat, until browned. Add in spices and diced red pepper. Cook until bell pepper softens (3-4 minutes). Add a few tablespoons of water if needed to keep the meat from drying out.
To serve – use a fork to flatten the inside of the roasted potato slightly. Add desired amount of ground beef mixture and top with fresh lettuce, chopped tomatoes, avocado, salsa and cilantro.

These look and sound delicious.
These look delicious and we love tacos and our favorite potato is the sweet potato. I could make these for the 4th for the grownups and it would be good and a great conversation piece also.
What a great idea! Believe it or not, I used to hate sweet potatoes. Well, at least I hated how they tasted when they were loaded with brown sugar and marshmallows at Thanksgiving. I wouldn’t make the dish, and wouldn’t eat it when others made it. I discovered relatively recently, though, that I love them – as fries, cubed and roasted, and cooked with other foods. Just about any way – except the traditional Thanksgiving recipe. I’ll definitely have to give this a try!
