Preparing the Sweet Potatoes

  1. First, place the peeled and diced sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl.
  2. Next, drizzle 1/2 tbsp. of Avocado Oil on top of them and season with cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
  3. Then, toss the sweet potatoes in the seasoning to coat.
  4. Next, place the sweet potatoes into the air fryer and create a single layer.
    • Note: If you have a smaller air fryer, you may have to work in batches. Alternatively, you can roast them in the oven at 375 for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Then, air fry the sweet potatoes at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until the desired consistency.
    • Note: For taco recipes, I typically like my sweet potatoes to have a slight crunch to them. This takes the place of tortilla chips. However, this is a personal preference – so cook them how you like.
  6. Finally, remove the sweet potatoes from the air fryer, and let them cool slightly.

Cooking the Ground Venison

  1. While the sweet potatoes are cooking in the air fryer, drizzle the 1/2 tbsp. of Avocado Oil into a nonstick All-Clad skillet and heat over medium heat.
  2. Next, add the ground Venison (or any other lean meat). Break up the meat with a spatula.
  3. Then, add the packet of Siete Taco Seasoning over the ground Venison. Stir to combine.
  4. Next, cook the ground Venison until cooked through (or no longer pink); about 10 minutes.
  5. Finally, set the cooked meat aside to cool, slightly.

Assembling and Serving the Venison Taco Bowls

  1. Once the sweet potatoes and Venison are cooked, it’s time to assemble the Venison Taco Bowls!
  2. Take out a serving dish, such as a bowl or plate.
  3. Then, place about a cup of mixed greens (I used mixed field greens and microgreens for my base) into the bottom of the bowl.
  4. Next, add the diced or sliced tomatoes, sliced avocado, air-fried sweet potatoes, and ground Venison.
  5. Then, drizzle the top with salsa verde (or your favorite salsa) and hot sauce.
  6. Finally, the Venison Taco Bowls are ready to enjoy!

Storing the Leftovers

To store any Venison Taco Bowl leftovers, I would recommend storing the sweet potatoes and cooked Venison separately from the taco-toppings. Then, on the day you’d like to re-assemble the leftovers, you can combine them.

Finally, the leftover sweet potatoes and cooked Venison will stay fresh, in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to 1 week.
