Method
Preparation and Roasting
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly oil it.
- Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared sheet.
- Roast for 15 minutes, use a spatula to flip the cubes, then roast for another 10 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are tender.
Cooking the Protein
- While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains.
- Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in the taco seasoning with a splash of water, then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
- For lentils, cook them separately and toss with seasoning.
Assembly
- Divide the roasted sweet potatoes among bowls.
- Top each bowl with the seasoned meat or lentils, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.
- Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Notes
For a themed meal, offer bowls family-style and set out extra toppings like pickled onions, roasted corn, or an avocado-lime vinaigrette.
