Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 1/2 cups), peeled and diced
• 1 cup onion, diced
• 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 3 teaspoons taco seasoning
• 5 ounces fresh baby spinach

Here's how to make it:

1. In a large skillet or pan with sides over medium heat, add the olive oil and sweet potatoes. Stir to combine and sauté for a couple of minutes.
   
2. Add the onions and peppers. Stir to combine and sauté for a couple of minutes. (I used red bell pepper, but you can use any color bell pepper you prefer.)
   
3. Add the ground chicken. Break it up and sauté with the vegetables until it's browned and cooked through and sweet potatoes are tender.
   
4. Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine. Season with sea salt and black pepper, to taste, if desired. (You can use store-bought taco seasoning or make your own taco seasoning.)
   
5. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
   
6. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave.
