Instructions

For the sweet potatoes - in the oven.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) along with the sheet pan.
Wash and chop your sweet potatoes into into small square pieces (about 3/4 inch thick). You can also peel the potatoes if you want, but it's not mandatory.
Add the oil and seasoning to a large bowl with the cubed sweet potatoes and toss very well to coat.
Carefully remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven. Spread the potatoes on the pan in a single, even layer. Overcrowding equals steaming, not crisping. Optionally, you can use baking paper but the potatoes might not come out as crispy.
Bake for 25 minutes.

For the beef:

While the potatoes are roasting, add the ground beef in a large skillet and place it over medium-high heat.
Cook the beef until browned and add the taco seasoning. Mix well and set to the side.

Assembly:

Wash and chop the tomatoes and lettuce. Prep the rest of your toppings.
Divide the sweet potatoes and taco beef between 4 bowls or meal prep containers.
Top each one to your bowls with your preferred toppings and enjoy!

Notes
