Method
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl.
  3. Spread in a single layer and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
Cook the Ground Meat
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground meat, breaking it into small chunks with a wooden spoon.
  2. Cook until liquid has evaporated and meat browns; reduce heat and add onions, garlic, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Cook until onions soften.
Prepare the Veggies
  1. Finely dice the tomato, cucumber, onion, and jalapeño using a food chopper or sharp knife. Season with salt to taste.
Make the Dill-Yogurt Sauce
  1. Combine Greek yogurt (or sour cream), salt, fresh dill, and minced garlic in a bowl. Mix well, adding a touch of water if using sour cream for a thinner consistency.
Assemble the Bowls
  1. Divide roasted sweet potatoes, ground meat, cheese, and veggies among four bowls. Top with lettuce, guacamole, and drizzle with the dill-yogurt sauce.
