Ingredients

1 pound sweet potatoes (2 small potatoes; see note 1)

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 (15-ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed)

Directions

• Dice sweet potatoes into 1/2” pieces. Season with same seasonings as turkey and add olive oil. Air fry until crispy.

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the meat with the salt and pepper. Add meat to the skillet and brown one side, then flip to brown the other (1 minute per side). Break the meat into small crumbles using a wooden spoon. Add the seasoning mix and stir until fully incorporated. Continue cooking until the meat is browned and any fat has cooked off. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

• Add diced sweet potatoes and black beans to the skillet. Stir to combine. Sprinkle cheese over the top, cover, and let it melt for 3–4 minutes. If needed, broil for 1–2 minutes to melt the cheese.

• Top with cilantro, lime, avocado, or sour cream as desired. Serve alone or over cooked rice.
