# Ingredients:
→ Main Items

1 medium onion, diced
02 -
1 lb of lean ground beef
03 -
2 minced garlic cloves
04 -
1 cup of chunky salsa
05 -
1 packet of taco spice blend

4 medium-sized sweet potatoes, weighing about 12-14 ounces each

1/4 to 1/2 cup of water, depending on thickness preference
→ Extra Toppings

Grated cheese blend (Mexican-style)

Chopped avocado or guac
10 -
Diced fresh tomatoes
11 -
Sour cream for serving
# Steps:
01 -
Cook the ground beef, garlic, and diced onion together in a big pan on medium-high heat. Toss out any extra grease after cooking, then stir in the taco seasoning and salsa.
02 -
Lower the heat to medium-low and let it cook for five minutes, stirring now and then until it's thick and warmed through. Add up to 1/2 cup of water to get the texture just right.
03 -
Poke holes in the sweet potatoes with a fork, then microwave them on high for 8-10 minutes. Flip them halfway through. If they still feel firm, microwave in 1-3 minute bursts until soft. Let them cool a little, then cut lengthwise and fluff the inside with a fork.
04 -
Pile the taco meat mixture on top of the sweet potatoes. Add toppings like guac, grated cheese, fresh tomato, or sour cream to finish them off.
