Ingredients

For the Sweet Potatoes

2 large Sweet Potatoes Packed with fiber and vitamins. Substitute with regular potatoes or butternut squash if desired.

For the Beef Layer

1 lb Ground Beef Adds protein and heartiness; swap with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles for a healthier or vegan option.
2 tbsp Taco Seasoning Elevates flavors; use homemade seasoning for a fresher taste or a store-bought packet for convenience.

For the Cheese

1 cup Lite Cheddar Cheese Offers creaminess with lower calories; try vegan cheese for a dairy-free option.

For the Fresh Toppings

1 cup Tomatoes Any ripe variety works well, with cherry tomatoes providing extra sweetness.
1 medium Red Onion Adds a sharp contrast; replace with green onions for a milder taste, or omit altogether.
2 cups Lettuce Provides a delightful crunch; shredded cabbage is a great swap for added texture.
1 medium Avocado Brings creamy richness to the mix; omit or switch it for guacamole if you prefer.

For the Finish

1/2 cup Light Sour Cream Introduces creaminess and tang; swap with Greek yogurt for a healthier take or use plant-based sour cream for vegan diets.
1/4 cup Taco Sauce Aids in flavor and moisture; consider homemade sauce or salsa for a twist.
