Start by roasting those sweet potatoes; this adds a delicious natural sweetness.
While they’re roasting, brown the beef and stir in that taco seasoning. Seriously, the smell will have you salivating!
Now it’s all about layering! Throw everything into a bowl like you’re a chef on a cooking show.
The drizzle of hot honey is where the magic happens—don’t skip it!
