Steps

1. 1

   Wash four large sweet potatoes and cut each one in half lengthwise.

2. 2

   Coat the cut, flat side of each sweet potato half with oil. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Arrange the sweet potato halves oil-side down and bake at 425°F for about 45 minutes, until fork-tender.

4. 4

   While the sweet potatoes bake, prepare the street corn mixture by combining the corn kernels, Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, cotija cheese, chopped red onion, chopped jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder, and tahini.

5. 5

   Season the street corn mixture with salt and pepper to taste, and add Tajin to taste. Mix thoroughly until combined.

6. 6

   Season the ground beef with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.

7. 7

   Cook the seasoned ground beef, allowing one side to sear before flipping. The transcript does not specify a cooking temperature or exact cooking time; continue until cooked through, then chop it up.

8. 8

   Remove the baked sweet potatoes when fork-tender. Place one sweet potato portion in each meal-prep container and mash it down.

9. 9

   Top each mashed sweet potato portion with the cooked ground beef, followed by the street corn mixture.
