Savory Ground Beef and Sweet Potato Skillet with Avocado Lime Drizzle

Begin by peeling and dicing 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, finely chop 1 small onion and 2 cloves of garlic.

Once the sweet potatoes are done, push them to one side of the skillet and add the chopped onion and garlic to the other side.

Sauté the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes, until they are fragrant and the onion is translucent.

Add 1 pound of lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula.

Season the beef with 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Cook the beef for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and cooked through.

1.

Dice 1 red bell pepper and add it to the skillet, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until the pepper is tender.

1.

While the beef and vegetables are cooking, prepare the avocado lime drizzle by blending 1 ripe avocado, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a food processor until smooth.

1.

Once everything in the skillet is cooked, remove it from heat and drizzle the avocado lime sauce over the top.

1.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving for an extra pop of flavor and color.
