Prep 15 min · Cook 10 min

Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potato cubes and water. Cover with a lid and simmer until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 8 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more until the pan is dry.
Increase the heat to medium-high. Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef in an even layer. Let the beef sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to brown. Break the beef into small pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned through with no pink remaining. Done when browned with no pink remaining, 160°F.
Stir the salt, cinnamon, garlic powder, and black pepper into the beef and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and toss everything together just until the leaves are wilted. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
