Weeknight Sweet Potato Ground Beef Salad with Guacamole (AIP, Paleo)
The Hubster and I needed a quick meal for after CrossFit Tuesday nights. One evening, I threw together some leftover potatoes, ground meat and guacamole and dumped it all over some lettuce. Surprisingly, it was delicious and has become one of our favorite meals we look forward to eating every week!
Further Food Commentary:
This simple yet filling dinner has all of the necessary pieces to a healthy meal — healthy fat (avocados), protein (ground meat), complex carbohydrates (sweet potatoes) and vegetables (green onion and lettuce) — and packs tons of flavor to satisfy and re-fuel even the hungriest of eaters! Plus, throwing this dish over a salad increases the volume of the food without upping the calorie content. This dish is great because it is so versatile; you can try to make it with other proteins, complex carbs, and add in tons of veggies to change it up, all while keeping it gluten-, dairy-, egg-, nightshade-, peanut-, tree nut-, seafood-, seed-, and soy-free.

In a pan, heat the fat over low-medium heat, then add the diced sweet potato.
Allow to brown on all sides by stirring frequently for about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the guacamole by gently mashing the flesh of the avocados in a small bowl.
Once fully mashed, stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper and set aside.
When sweet potatoes have browned, remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the ground meat to the now empty pan, turn the heat up to medium and cook until browned.
Return sweet potatoes to pan with meat and stir together, then remove from heat and set aside.
Divide lettuce between two large plates.
Top the lettuce with the meat and potatoes, guacamole, and sprinkle with green onion slices.
