Prep 15 min · Cook 10 min

Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potato cubes and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown on the edges.
Add the water to the skillet and cover immediately with a lid. Steam for 3 to 4 minutes until a fork pierces a potato cube easily. Uncover and let any remaining water cook off, then transfer the potatoes to a plate.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the ground beef in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3 minutes to brown. Break it up with a spoon, then add the onion, bell pepper, and half the salt. Cook for 4 minutes more until the beef is cooked through. Done when beef is no longer pink, 160°F.
Return the sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and the remaining salt. Cook for 2 minutes to let the beef slightly crisp. Remove from heat, stir in the lime juice, and top with cilantro.
