Ingredients:
- 2 sweet potatoes, about 1 pound each
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground chipotle
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup shredded mexican-style cheese blend, divided
- 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce

Directions:
- Prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Microwave on High until soft, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle and salt; cook, breaking the beef up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Whisk water and tomato paste in a measuring cup; add to the pan and stir to coat the mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese.
