Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika optional
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 pound ground turkey 93% lean works best
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning or 3 tablespoons homemade blend
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 avocados sliced
  • 1 cup pico de gallo store-bought or homemade

Instructions

Roast the Sweet Potatoes

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and golden.

Cook the Turkey

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned (6–8 minutes).
  • Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer 2–3 minutes until well coated and slightly saucy.
  • In a small saucepan, heat black beans with a pinch of salt and stir in cilantro. Keep warm.
  • Divide roasted sweet potatoes, taco-seasoned turkey, and black beans between 4 bowls (or containers for meal prep).
  • Top each with avocado slices and a spoonful of pico de gallo.
