There is something so satisfying about a burrito bowl where you get a little bit of everything in every bite. I love how the sweetness of the roasted potatoes plays against the savory spiced beef. It feels like a treat but is wholesome enough for a busy weeknight meal.

My best tip is to get your rice cooking first so it is ready to go while you brown the beef. If you like a little extra heat, feel free to add some sliced jalapenos or a dash of hot sauce right before you dig in.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil and a pinch of salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes or until tender.

  3. 3

    While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef.

  4. 4

    Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water, letting it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, and chopped cilantro to make the dressing.

  6. 6

    To assemble, divide the cooked rice into bowls and top with the beef, roasted potatoes, black beans, lettuce, and cheese.

  7. 7

    Drizzle the cilantro lime sauce over the top of each bowl and serve warm.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days. You can also prep the beef and potatoes ahead of time to make assembly even faster during the week.
