Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon olive oil divided
  • 1 large sweet potato peeled and chopped in ½-inch pieces
  • 1 red or yellow bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup red onion diced
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch* or corn starch
  • ¼ tablespoons water
  • 6 eggs beaten
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 1 avocado peeled and chopped chopped
  • sea salt and fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • COOK THE VEGGIES: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add sweet potatoes, peppers, onions, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper to the oil. Sauté the mixture until potatoes have softened, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • COOK THE BEEF: Add beef to the skillet and continue to cook over medium heat until browned. Add taco seasoning, arrow root starch, and ¼ cup water. Continue to cook until the sauce has thickened. Remove the beef from the pan to a bowl and set aside.
  • COOK THE EGGS: Heat the remaining oil in the same pan, still over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add eggs and additional salt and pepper to taste. Cook the eggs until they are cooked to your desired consistency, then remove from the heat.
  • ASSEMBLE BOWLS: In five meal prep containers, divide out the sweet potato mixture, the seasoned beef, eggs, salsa, and avocado evenly. These can be served immediately or refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Arrowroot starch is a corn and gluten-free thickening agent that is approved for the Whole30 diet. If you aren't avoiding corn or gluten, you can use corn starch with the same results.
