Southwest Beef Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

From eating Paleo/Whole30 for so many years and coaching clients through the program, I have learned you can stuff anything into a sweet potato and it tastes delicious. These stuffed sweet potatoes are no exception. The ground beef is seasoned and cooked with carrots and mushrooms. The finished product is topped with cilantro, avocado, and fresh-squeezed lime juice. This is perfect for meal prep because the potatoes store and reheat quite well.

  • 1/4 C cilantro
  • 2 avocados. diced
  • 1 tsp sea salt

  4. Add the carrots, mushrooms, and beef broth. Continue cooking until the broth has mostly evaporated and the mushrooms are cooked, about 7-10 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally.
  5. Add the juice from one lime, cumin, oregano, cilantro, and sea salt. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes.
  6. Stuff the beef mixture in the baked sweet potatoes and top with the avocado and cilantro. Serve with a lime wedge.
