instructions
    1

    Begin by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Cut them evenly to ensure uniform cooking. Set them aside.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

    3

    Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it's browned and no longer pink.

    4

    Incorporate the diced bell pepper into the skillet, along with the salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Stir well to combine, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes till the peppers are slightly softened.

    5

    While the beef mixture is cooking, add the sweet potatoes to a pot of boiling water. Cook them for about 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

    6

    Once the beef and peppers are ready, fold the cooked sweet potatoes into the skillet with the beef and mix gently to combine everything together. Cook for an extra 2-3 minutes to heat through.

    7

    To serve, squeeze lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for added flavor and freshness.
