- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). This is your seasoning mixture.
- Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with the vegetable oil and about half of the seasoning mixture (approximately 2 tablespoons). Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, until browned. Drain off excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet. Add the black beans, corn, and the remaining seasoning mixture to the skillet. Stir to coat everything evenly. Continue to cook until the beans and corn are heated through.
- To serve, you can arrange all the components in separate dishes for a family-style meal, or assemble individual bowls. Place a portion of the seasoned sweet potatoes and the beef and bean mixture into each bowl. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and sliced avocado.
- Serve with optional garnishes such as sour cream, jalapeños, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, lime slices, or crumbled feta cheese, if desired.

Notes
Leftovers keep well and make a delicious packed lunch for the next day. Be mindful of the chili powder amount, as its strength can vary by brand and type. Adjust cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
