Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cup sweet potatoes, cubed
- 2 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
1. In a large nonstick skillet, brown the ground beef and diced onions over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
2. Stir in the minced garlic, cubed sweet potatoes, taco seasoning, water, frozen corn, and diced poblano pepper. Cover the skillet and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
3. Remove the lid and cook the mixture over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes, allowing any remaining liquid to evaporate.
4. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the skillet, then cover briefly to allow the cheese to melt and become deliciously gooey.
5. Garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
Notes
Optional toppings include cilantro, avocado, and sour cream.
