Prep 15 min · Cook 45 min

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the sweet potato on a baking sheet and roast until a knife slides in easily, about 45 to 55 minutes depending on thickness.
While the potato roasts, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper. Cook while breaking up the meat, letting it sit for a minute at a time to brown, until the beef has no pink remaining and the onion is translucent, about 7 to 9 minutes. Drain any excess fat if the pan looks greasy. Done when no pink remains, 160°F.
Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lime juice.
Slit the roasted sweet potato lengthwise and fluff the inside with a fork. Spoon the beef mixture into the opening and garnish with parsley.
