  • Author: Crystal
  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

Warm, hearty, and protein‑packed bowl bursting with flavor, perfect for busy weeknights and nutritious meal prep. Enjoy a satisfying blend of lean beef, roasted potatoes, and vibrant toppings that keep you fueled.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 600g (about 4 medium) russet potatoes, cubed
  • 1½ lb (680g) lean ground beef (93/7 or leaner)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 packet (28 g) low‑sodium taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) beef bone broth
  • ½ cup fresh guacamole
  • ½ cup pico de gallo
  • Pickled jalapeños (optional)
  • ½ cup (113 g) non‑fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo + 1 tsp adobo sauce
  • ½ roasted red bell pepper (or 2 jarred pieces)
  • 1–2 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp honey (or agave)
  • Handful fresh cilantro
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Toss potatoes with olive oil spray, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper; spread on sheet and roast 20‑25 min, turning halfway.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium‑high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up; cook until browned, about 6‑8 min.
  4. Stir in diced onion and taco seasoning; cook 1 min.
  5. Pour in beef bone broth; simmer 3‑4 min until sauce thickens.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, roasted red bell pepper, lime juice, honey, cilantro, and salt to make the fiesta sauce.
  7. Assemble bowls: base of roasted potatoes, top with seasoned beef, then drizzle with fiesta sauce.
  8. Add guacamole, pico de gallo, and optional pickled jalapeños as toppings.

Notes

For extra crunch, add toasted pepitas. Substitute ground turkey for beef to reduce fat. Stored properly, the bowl lasts 3‑4 days in the fridge; keep sauce separate to maintain texture.
