These bowls are a favorite in my house because they come together quickly but taste like a special treat. Everyone loves the combination of charred corn and hearty ground beef, which makes it a satisfying meal for any night of the week.

My best tip is to get your pan nice and hot before adding the corn. You want to see a bit of color on the kernels to get that authentic smoky flavor that makes this dish so delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Toss the diced sweet potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Roast the sweet potatoes for about 20 to 25 minutes until they are tender and golden brown.

  4. 4

    While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium high heat.

  5. 5

    Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as you go.

  6. 6

    Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water, then remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.

  7. 7

    In the same skillet, add a little more oil and the corn kernels.

  8. 8

    Cook the corn undisturbed for a few minutes until it gets a nice char, then stir occasionally until tender.

  9. 9

    Assemble your bowls by dividing the beef, roasted sweet potatoes, and charred corn among four serving dishes.

  10. 10

    Top each bowl with avocado slices, a sprinkle of cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro before serving with a lime wedge.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can easily prep the sweet potatoes ahead of time to save minutes on a busy weeknight. These bowls are great served with a dollop of sour cream or a bit of hot sauce if you like extra heat.
