Steps

1

Preheat oven to 400°F.
2

Wash and halve sweet potatoes. Brush with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and cumin.
3

Place cut-side down (skin-side up) on a baking sheet. Roast 30 minutes, checking at 15 minutes. Potatoes are done when a skewer or fork slides through easily.
4

Cook ground beef over medium heat, breaking into crumbles. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin.
5

Turn potatoes skin-side down and gently mash with a fork.
6

Top with optional Mexican cheese while hot.
7

Add seasoned ground beef.
8

Top with roasted corn, jalapeños, avocado, and salsa.
9

Finish with extra cheese if desired and serve immediately.

Tips

Roast 5–10 minutes longer for crispier potatoes. Swap beef for ground turkey or shredded chicken. Finish with cilantro, fresh lime juice, or chipotle crema for extra Baja flavor.
