# Instructions:
01 -
Start by getting your oven nice and hot at 425°F (220°C). While it's heating up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper - this will make cleanup a breeze later!
02 -
Give your sweet potatoes a good scrub under cool water and pat them dry. Using a fork, poke several holes all over the potatoes - this helps them cook evenly and prevents any potato explosions! Rub them with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
03 -
Pop those potatoes in the oven and let them roast for about 40-45 minutes. You'll know they're done when you can easily pierce them with a fork and they're perfectly tender in the middle.
04 -
While the potatoes are doing their thing, warm some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in your chopped onion and garlic, and let them cook until they're soft and fragrant. Add the ground beef and all those wonderful seasonings, cooking until the beef is nicely browned. Finally, pour in those fire-roasted tomatoes with their juices and let everything simmer together until most of the liquid cooks off, about 5-7 minutes.
05 -
Once your potatoes are done, slice them in half lengthwise and fluff up the inside with a fork. Load them up with your seasoned taco meat and add all your favorite toppings. Time to dig in!
