Ingredients
Scale

- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 2 teaspoons Sazon seasoning
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- Kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper- to taste
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, cleaned (pat dry) & sliced into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 ½ tablespoons Creole Cajun Seasoning– homemade or store-bought, divided
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ medium yellow onion, diced
- ⅓ cup beef broth (or water as sub)
- For bowl assembly: Chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, hamburger dill chips, and sliced avocado- as desired
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, blend together sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, chipotle peppers, garlic paste, Sazon seasoning, dried parsley, and salt/pepper to taste until smooth. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until serving.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
- In a large bowl, toss sweet potato wedges with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and Cajun seasoning until well coated. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake sweet potato wedges in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until fork-tender and crispy. Meanwhile, prepare the beef.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Season with remaining Cajun seasoning, mix well, then add beef broth, and let simmer until the liquid is absorbed, keeping the mixture moist.
- Assemble the bowls starting with romaine lettuce and baked sweet potato wedges, add toppings, and cooked ground beef. Drizzle with chipotle ranch before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences.
