Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups diced sweet potatoes (about 1 large)
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (reduce to 1/2 teaspoon for less heat)

Instructions
- Dice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and microwave covered with a damp paper towel for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine sour cream and salsa; set aside.

Notes
For a vegetarian option, swap ground turkey for ground chicken or a plant-based crumble. Use smoked paprika and cayenne in place of chipotle chili powder if needed.
