Southwest Beef and Sweet Potato Skillet
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil divided
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 tsp Sea Salt divided
- 4 Sweet Potatoes diced
- 15 oz Diced Tomatoes
- .25 tsp Chili Powder
- .5 tsp Garlic Powder
- .5 tsp Cumin
- .25 c Water
- 1 c Baby Spinach
- 2 tsp Lime Juice
- 1 Avocado sliced
- .25 c Fresh Cilantro chopped
Instructions:
- In a large, 10” skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef, sprinkle with ½ the salt, and stir to break into small pieces.
- Cook, stirring beef occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- To the same pan, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes, sprinkle with the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, ½ of the salt, and stir to combine. Add the diced tomatoes and water, stirring to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash more water if the pan starts to dry out.
- Uncover, and add the cooked beef and spinach, cooking until the beef is warmed through and the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute, adding a splash more water if the pan is dry.
- Add the lime juice, stirring to combine. Taste and add additional salt if desired. Serve with sliced avocados and chopped cilantro.
