Ingredients
Spices
- 2 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika feel free to use hot smoked paprika if you like extra spicy
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt I use David's Kosher salt which is less salty than others. Cut in half until you're comfortable with the salt level.
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼-1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder optional, very spicy

- 1 medium avocado sliced
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- In a small bowl mix together chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Toss sweet potato pieces with vegetable oil and half the seasoning mixture from the small bowl, about 2 tablespoons. Bake for 15-20 minutes until tender and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, cook beef over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through. If necessary, drain any large quantities of fat from skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add beans, fresh corn (if using kernels from a cob) and remaining seasoning mixture from the small bowl. Toss to fully coat beans and beef with seasoning. Continue to cook until beans and corn are heated through.
- To serve either place all ingredients in separate dishes for family style serving, or make individual bowls before serving table.
- Serve with any desired optional garnishes (sour cream, jalapeños, sliced green onion, chopped cilantro leaves, lime slices, crumbles feta, etc.).
Notes
Chili powder in Canada is quite mild; use caution with the amount if a different brand and/or type is used, especially when serving children. Ingredients keep well and make for a delicious packed lunch the following day.
