Makes 4 meals!

Ingredients:

  • 4 Large Kumara (Sweet Potatoes)
  • 400g Beef Mince
  • 2 tablespoons Tex Mex Seasoning
  • 1 Green Capsicum, diced
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 1/2 cup Corn Kernels
  • Baby Spinach Leaves (for salad)
  • 2 medium Tomatoes, diced (for salad)

Method:

  1. Roast the Kumara

    • Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
    • Wash the kumara, prick them with a fork, and place on a baking tray. Roast for 40-50 minutes, or until tender. This step can be done ahead of time and stored in the fridge.

  2. Cook the Filling

    • Heat a pan over medium heat and sauté the onion until softened.
    • Add the beef mince and Tex Mex seasoning, cooking until browned.
    • Stir in the capsicum, tomato paste, and corn. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until well combined. Let cool, then portion out if prepping for the week.

  3. Assemble the Stuffed Kumara

    • When ready to serve, reheat the kumara in the oven or microwave, cut them lengthwise, and gently mash the flesh to create a cavity.
    • Spoon the pre-made Tex Mex beef mixture into each kumara.

  4. Prepare the Salad

    • Toss baby spinach leaves and diced tomatoes in a bowl. Keep the salad undressed if prepping ahead, and add olive oil and lemon dressing just before serving.

  5. Serve or Store

    • Enjoy immediately or pack portions of stuffed kumara and salad into meal prep containers for easy, ready-to-go lunches or dinners.

Tips:

  • The beef filling and roasted kumara can be stored separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Swap beef mince for plant-based mince for a vegetarian option.
  • Add a sprinkle of cheese or a dollop of sour cream on top for an extra indulgent touch.
