Ingredients
  

Protein

  • 1 lb 450 g ground beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning or chili spice mix
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • ¼ cup water
  • 8 –10 cooked shrimp peeled and deveined

Vegetables & Base

  • 1 large sweet potato cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • Flavor Boosters
  • ½ cup crumbled feta

Instructions
 

  • Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes until tender, golden, and caramelized.
  • Cook the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in taco seasoning, tomato paste, and water. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened and flavorful.

  • Assemble the Bowl: Add roasted sweet potatoes to the base of your bowl. Top with spicy beef, warm shrimp, avocado slices, feta, and chili slices.
  • Finish & Serve: Sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired and serve immediately.
