Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Beef (80% lean, preferably grass‑fed)
• 2 tbsp Taco Seasoning (store‑bought or homemade (cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt))
• 1.5 lb Sweet Potatoes (peeled and cut into ½‑inch cubes)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil (extra virgin)
• 0.5 tsp Salt (to taste)
• 0.25 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)

• 2 tbsp Hot Honey (honey warmed with a pinch of cayenne or chili flakes)
• 1 unit Lime Wedge (optional garnish)
