1/2 lb lean ground beef
8 oz mushrooms processed or finely chopped
salt and pepper
1 recipe homemade taco seasoning see notes
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Toppings: tomatoes, green onions, guacamole, black olives

Instructions

Prepare sweet potato fries on a foil-lined baking sheet according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat then add beef and chopped mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper then saute until ground beef is cooked through. Drain well then return to the skillet. Add taco seasoning and water then stir to combine. Turn heat to low and keep warm.
When fries are done baking, turn the oven to broil then top fries with beef and mushroom mixture. Top with cheddar cheese then broil until melted. Top with desired toppings then serve.

Notes

Feel free to use a store-bought taco seasoning packet instead of making your own taco seasoning.
For Lazy Girls' Guacamole: mash ripe avocado with garlic salt and a drizzle of fresh lime juice. Smash with a fork until smooth.
