Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the diced potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer.
  2. Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned. While the potatoes roast, prepare the beef.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
  4. Stir in the paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and water, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  5. Prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocados in a bowl. Stir in the chopped coriander, diced red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  6. Prepare the salsa by combining the diced tomatoes, chopped coriander, diced red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  7. To assemble the bowls, divide the roasted potatoes among four bowls. Top with the seasoned beef mixture. Add a generous dollop of guacamole and salsa.
  8. Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve with lime wedges, if desired. Let the bowls rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
