    • 🍠 2 large sweet potatoes
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • Meat and Beans

    • 🧅 1 small yellow onion, cut into small dice

STEPS

1

Prepare taco seasoning by combining chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, seasoning salt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.

2

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

3

Rub each sweet potato with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning. Wrap in foil and place on a baking sheet.

4

Bake sweet potatoes until fork-tender, about 40 minutes.

5

Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

6

Add ground beef and 1/4 cup taco seasoning. Cook and stir until browned and crumbly, breaking up clumps with a spatula, and mixing in seasoning, for 5-7 minutes.

7

Stir in black beans and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

8

Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir into meat mixture and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

9

Slice potatoes open and add a pinch of taco seasoning inside each. Spoon in meat mixture and top with cheese, pico de gallo, jalapeno, sour cream, cilantro, and more taco seasoning. Serve immediately.
