  5. 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  6. Juice of 1/2 lime
  7. Salt, to taste

For the Beef:

  1. 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
  2. 1 medium onion, diced
  3. 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  4. 1 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes
  5. 3 cloves garlic, finely diced
  6. 2 tsp sweet paprika
  7. 2 tsp cumin
  8. 1 tsp ground coriander
  9. 1/2 tsp salt
  10. Generous sprinkle of Paleo Living Beef/Pork Blend

For the Potatoes:

  1. 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  2. 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  3. 1 tsp sweet paprika
  4. 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  5. Pinch of ground coriander
  6. Salt and pepper
  7. 1 avocado, diced
  8. 1 lime, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Mix together the ingredients for the salsa in a small bowl. Adjust salt to taste. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. To make the beef mixture, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, stirring regularly. Once browned, stir in the paprika, cumin, ground coriander, and salt. Add the diced tomatoes with the juices and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. As the beef is simmering, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil and spices in a bowl. Place onto a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until soft, turning once.
  4. To assemble, place the sweet potatoes in the bottom of the bowl. Top with the ground beef, salsa, and then the avocado. Serve with lime wedges.
