1-First, preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to get that perfect roast on the sweet potatoes. Take 1 pound (about 450 grams) of peeled sweet potatoes, cut them into 1-2 inch cubes, and toss them with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and half of the seasoning mix. This mix includes 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika, and the other spices for a vibrant kick.

2-Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast them for 15 to 20 minutes until they’re tender and slightly caramelized. While that’s happening, cook 1 pound (450 grams) of extra lean ground beef over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes until it’s done, then drain most of the fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon.

3-Next, add 1 can (14 ounces or about 400 grams) of drained and rinsed black beans, 1 cup corn kernels, and the remaining seasoning to the beef. Heat everything through and stir it well to blend the flavors. Now, you’re ready to assemble your bowls by layering the roasted sweet potatoes, beef mixture, halved cherry tomatoes or chopped tomatoes, and sliced avocado.

4-For the final touch, add any optional garnishes like sour cream or cilantro to make it your own. This recipe serves 4 people and comes together quickly, making it a go-to for busy nights. Remember, the key is in the details, like adjusting spices to taste for that perfect balance.
