Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks, spread them out on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for about 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, cooking for 6-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and season with taco spices to taste.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix sour cream (or Greek yogurt) with the juice and zest of one lime, along with a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth, and set aside.
  4. In serving bowls, layer cooked rice or lettuce, roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned ground beef, and drizzle lime crema on top.
  5. Serve immediately while warm, garnished with fresh toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro.
