  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking apart until no pink remains. Sprinkle in taco seasoning and a splash of water; allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Combine diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice in a bowl to prepare the pico de gallo. Let it rest for 10 minutes for flavors to meld.
  4. Assemble your Taco Bowl by layering roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned beef, and pico de gallo in serving bowls.
  5. Top with guacamole and sour cream, and add any desired garnishes like cilantro, lime wedges, or tortilla chips. Serve immediately.
