- 0.5 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1.5 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.75 tsp salt

How to make Smoky Beef & Sweet Potato Hash with Avocado Cream
- Prepare the Avocado Cream: In a small food processor or blender, combine the 1 medium avocado, 0.25 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 0.25 teaspoon salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned and no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Drain off any excess grease and transfer the cooked beef to a plate, leaving any rendered fat in the pan.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 medium diced sweet potatoes, 1 medium diced bell pepper, and 0.5 medium diced yellow onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes begin to soften and lightly brown.
- Stir in the 1.5 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 0.5 tsp smoked paprika, 0.75 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.
- Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Add 0.5 cup frozen corn kernels to the mixture. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
- Taste the hash and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
- Divide the smoky beef and sweet potato hash among four serving plates. Top each serving generously with a dollop of the prepared Avocado Cream.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped cilantro before serving warm.
