Ingredients
-
2 sweet potatoes, about 10 ounces each
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
3 tablespoons taco seasoning, divided
-
1 pound ground beef
-
2 tablespoons water
-
taco toppings, such as shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, red onion slices, avocado slices, shredded cheese, lime slices, and salsa or pico de gallo
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a sheet pan with foil.
-
Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise, and rub cut surfaces and skins with olive oil. Evenly sprinkle about 1 tablespoon taco seasoning all over sweet potatoes and place on the prepared pan, cut side down.
-
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then turn and continue roasting until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes more.
-
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, breaking up clumps with a spatula, 5 to 8 minutes; drain excess fat.
-
Sprinkle meat with remaining 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix and stir in water. Simmer until liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes.
-
Place roasted sweet potatoes on a cutting board and scoop out most of the sweet potato flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch flesh inside the skins. Cut the sweet potato flesh into bite-sized pieces and stir into the ground beef mixture.
-
Fill each sweet potato shell with beef and sweet potato mixture, gently pressing to fill. Place filled sweet potato skins on a serving plate and top with taco toppings.
