Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • In a small bowl mix together chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  • Toss sweet potato pieces with vegetable oil and half the seasoning mixture from the small bowl, about 2 tablespoons. Bake for 15-20 minutes until tender and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, cook beef over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through. If necessary, drain any large quantities of fat from skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add beans, fresh corn (if using kernels from a cob) and remaining seasoning mixture from the small bowl. Toss to fully coat beans and beef with seasoning. Continue to cook until beans and corn are heated through.
  • To serve, either place all ingredients in separate dishes for family style serving, or make individual bowls before serving.
  • Serve with any desired optional garnishes (sour cream, jalapeños, sliced green onion, chopped cilantro leaves, lime slices, crumbles feta, etc.).

Notes

Chili powder can be mild; adjust according to brand used. Leftovers make for a great packed lunch the next day.
