Mexican Sweet Potato Skillet
I have a question for you. HOW TF do (normal) food bloggers come up with PAGES of story/explanation etc before the recipe?! Like do you want me to explain the nutritional benefits of every single ingredient in this dish? You're gonna scroll past it anyways 🤪 I have a theory it has something to do…
Ingredients
- 16oz (1lb) 96/4 ground beef
- 30g Onion
- 1-2 garlic cloves (or 1 tbsp if you just use the pre diced stuff from the grocery like me)
- 1 large sweet potato, diced. (mine came out to 385g) (or two smaller sweet potatoes)
- 1 can of black beans (mine weighed 400g after draining)
- 1 can fire roasted rotel tomatoes & green chilies
- 112g Velveeta Cheddar Shreds
- Chili Powder, Cumin, Salt, Pepper
- Cilantro (to garnish)
Directions
- 1
Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray & cook your ground beef & onion together. Add 1 tbsp chili powder & 1 tsp of cumin + salt & pepper
- 2
Add the garlic once the beef is mostly cooked
- 3
When the beef is cooked (brown!), set aside in a bowl & wipe/wash the skillet
- 4
Combine the diced sweet potato, black beans, rotel tomatoes, & an additional 2 tsp chili powder + 1 tsp cumin + salt & pepper
- 5
Stir together, cover with a lid, & let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sweet potato is soft (the larger your chunks of sweet potato the longer this will take)
- 6
Add the ground beef mixture back to the skillet & stir it all together!
- 7
Top with cheese & it's ready to serve or be split into meal prep containers.
