Ingredients
- For the Hash:
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
- For the Avocado Cream:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt, to taste
- Water (to thin, if needed)
Directions
- 1. Prepare the Avocado Cream:
In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding water a tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency. Set aside.
2. Cook the Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and starting to caramelize. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
5. Add Seasoning and Veggies: Stir in the taco seasoning, diced bell pepper, corn, and cooked sweet potatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the bell pepper to soften. Adjust salt to taste.
6. Serve: Divide the hash among plates. Drizzle with avocado cream and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
Recipe Note
Ground Meat Options: Feel free to substitute the ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based meat alternatives for a lighter or vegetarian option.
Sweet Potato Variations: You can swap sweet potatoes for regular potatoes or butternut squash if you prefer. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Spice Level: If you enjoy heat, consider adding diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the hash. For a milder version, reduce the taco seasoning or use a mild blend.
Avocado Cream: The avocado cream can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. To prevent browning, cover it tightly or add a bit of extra lime juice.
Serving Suggestions: This hash pairs wonderfully with a fried or poached egg on top for added richness. It also makes a great filling for breakfast burritos!
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
