Beef Sweet Potato Southwest

INGREDIENTS
1    medium sweet potato
½   pound ground beef
1    tablespoon olive oil
1    medium white onion, chopped (1 ½ cups)
2    cloves garlic, minced
1    jalapeno pepper, seeded, diced very small
2    tablespoons taco sauce
2    cups ¼ inch diced fresh tomatoes
2    cups thinly sliced cabbage
¼   cup jack or cheddar cheese, grated

METHOD
Peel the sweet potato and cut into ¼ inch dice. Steam for 5 to 6 minutes until very tender. Set aside. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the hamburger and stir to crumble into small pieces while it browns. Once browned, remove the hamburger to a bowl, set aside, and drain the fat from the skillet into the garbage.

Add the oil to the skillet and swirl to cover. Add the onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender. Add the garlic and jalapeno and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the jalapeno is tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the hamburger, taco sauce, tomatoes and sweet potato to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the cabbage. Place into a serving dish, sprinkle with the cheese and serve.
