# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes just before cooking to prevent browning.
02 -
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook for 5–7 minutes until onions are translucent and peppers softened.
03 -
Stir in garlic, thyme, rosemary, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
04 -
Add diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and stir to combine with vegetables and spices. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
05 -
Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 15–20 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water or broth if needed.
06 -
Add the cooked beef to the skillet and stir gently to heat through. Ensure ground beef is fully cooked before adding.
07 -
Increase heat to medium-high and cook for 5–7 minutes to crisp edges of beef and potatoes, stirring occasionally.
08 -
Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or paprika as needed for flavor balance.
09 -
Serve hot, garnished with parsley or cilantro. Top with a fried egg, avocado, or hot sauce if desired.
