Prep 15 min · Cook 25 min

Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a baking sheet, toss the sweet potato cubes with the olive oil and a pinch of the salt.
Roast the sweet potatoes until tender and slightly browned, about 20 to 25 minutes.
While the potatoes roast, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of the salt in a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Done when water is absorbed and rice is tender.
While the rice rests, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, the remaining salt, and black pepper. Cook, breaking the meat into small crumbles, for 6 to 8 minutes until the meat is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if needed. Done when opaque in the center and browned, 160°F.
Fluff the rice with a fork and place it in a bowl. Top with the browned ground beef and the roasted sweet potatoes. Drizzle with lime juice and garnish with green onions.
