Instructions
Cook in the Skillet (softer potatoes)
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until browned about 5–6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed, then set beef aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Sauté onions and bell peppers 4 minutes, then stir in garlic. Add diced sweet potatoes and cook 5 minutes.
- Stir in oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, chili powder if using, salt, and black pepper. Add diced tomatoes and beef broth. Mix well.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are tender.
- Return beef to skillet. Stir in fresh cilantro. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Option 2 – Roast or Air Fry (caramelized potatoes)
- Preheat oven to 425°F or air fryer to 400°F.
- Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20–25 minutes (oven) or air fry for 15 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and tender.
- Meanwhile, cook beef in a skillet as above (Step 1). Add onions, pepper, garlic, and seasonings. Stir in diced tomatoes and broth, simmering 10 minutes.
- Add roasted sweet potatoes into the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir in cilantro, adjust seasonings, and serve.
