Instructions

Prepare your white rice or cilantro-lime rice according to package instructions.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss diced sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on a large sheet pan.
Spread potatoes in a single layer and roast for 30 minutes, flipping every 10 minutes until tender.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat; sauté onions for 3-5 minutes until golden.
Add ground beef to the center of the skillet, brown and crumble until liquid is absorbed.
Stir in chicken broth, taco seasoning, tomato paste, and minced garlic; cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Divide rice into 4 bowls, top with roasted sweet potatoes and the beef mixture, and add desired toppings.

Notes

Note 1: Use a low-sodium taco seasoning to keep the sodium content low.
Note 2: Suggested toppings include avocado, pickled onions, jalapeños, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Swap rice for cauliflower rice to make this a low-carb meal.
