Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork, then place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to meld with the beef. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mash 1 ripe avocado with the juice of 1 lime, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt to create the spicy avocado cream.
Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, carefully slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create space for the filling.
Fill each sweet potato half with the seasoned ground beef mixture, pressing it down gently. Drizzle the spicy avocado cream over the stuffed sweet potatoes and garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
Serve immediately and enjoy this unique twist on a classic dish!
