👨🍳 Ingredients for full recipe (makes 4 servings)
✅ 800g – 5% lean beef mince
✅ 150g x 4 – sweet potato
✅ 2 – packs of Taco seasoning mix
// optional // 120g – jalapeños (if you like some more spice)

✅ Juice of 2 Limes
➡️ Method:
* Pierce the skin of sweet potatoes with a fork and wrap individually in kitchen foil. Place into an air fryer or oven at 200℃ for 45 minutes.
* Then prepare Pico de Gallo. Chop tomatoes, red onion, cucumber and spring onion to similar sizes and place into a salad bowl. Finely chop coriander and add to the salad bowl along with the juice of two limes. Mix and season with salt and pepper to taste.
* Into a hot pan add your beef mince, allow to brown and add in your spice mix. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking at the bottom.
* When your potatoes are done let them cool before transferring to your meal prep container. Remove foil. They should be so soft you can cut them open with a knife and mash to your preferred consistency
* Once beef mince is fully cooked add to the meal prep container alongside the sweet potato.
* This meal can be enjoyed warm or cold.
* HOT // If you are going to reheat the beef and potato then place the Pico de Gallo in its own meal prep container and combine after reheating.
* COLD // If enjoying this cold then once beef and sweet potato have cooled combine the Pico de Gallo and store in the fridge.
