  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for potatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for potatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika for potatoes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste for potatoes
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or light mayo
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika for sauce
  • 1 pound lean ground beef 90/10
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika for beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste for beef
  • 2 roma tomatoes diced
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 avocado sliced

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • large skillet
  • Small bowl for sauce
  • mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  2. Roast potatoes for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden, flipping halfway through.
  3. While potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and season with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Cook beef for 7-8 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned and fully cooked through with no pink remaining.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth to make the special sauce.
  6. Assemble each bowl by layering roasted potatoes at the base, then adding ground beef, chopped romaine, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices.
  7. Drizzle generously with special sauce and serve immediately while potatoes are still crispy.

Notes

Store components separately for meal prep. Potatoes stay crispiest when reheated in an air fryer at 400°F for 3-4 minutes. Makes 4 generous servings perfect for post-workout meals or family dinners.
