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.
