3 tbsp taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
-
½ cup water
-
1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
-
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed (about 2½ – 3 cups)

Instructions
-
In a large skillet, cook ground beef with taco seasoning and water over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.
-
In the same skillet, heat oil. Add cubed sweet potato and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender.
-
Add bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Sauté for 3–5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.

Add spinach and the cooked ground beef back to the pan. Stir until spinach is wilted and everything is heated through.

Notes
Omit cheese and sour cream for a dairy-free or Whole30 version.
Make it vegetarian by swapping beef for black beans or plant-based crumbles.
