Heat up a large skillet, spray a little cooking oil then add the ground beef. Brown the meat on medium high heat for about 4-5 minutes, then add the minced garlic and taco seasoning, stir everything well and cook for 2 minutes. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add oil in the same skillet, heat it up, then add the diced sweet potatoes, sauté on medium heat for 5 minutes stirring often.
Add the diced onion, a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything and continue cooking for about 5 minutes or until the onion is tender.
Drain the excess fat from the ground beef set aside if needed. Add the beef to the skillet with the sweet potatoes and onion. Add the black beans and fire roasted tomatoes can (with liquid). Stir everything, add lid and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Remove lid from skillet, continue cooking for a few more minutes until the liquid has thickened. Remove from heat, sprinkle the cheese. Optional: add oven-safe skillet to the oven on high broil for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve, add fresh cilantro and toppings of choice and enjoy!
