Method
- Preheat your oven to 400° F.
- In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper if you are using it.
- Toss the sweet potato pieces with vegetable oil and half of the seasoning mixture from the small bowl (about 2 tablespoons). Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
- While the potatoes bake, cook the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 to 7 minutes until cooked through. If needed, drain large amounts of fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat behind. Add the beans, fresh corn (if using kernels from a cob), and the remaining seasoning mixture from the small bowl. Toss everything to coat the beans and beef fully with the seasoning. Keep cooking until the beans and corn are heated through.
- To serve, place all ingredients in separate dishes for family style serving, or assemble individual bowls before bringing them to the table.
- Serve with any desired optional garnishes like sour cream, jalapeños, sliced green onion, chopped cilantro leaves, lime slices, or crumbled feta.

Notes
The ingredients keep well and make a good packed lunch the next day. Be careful with the amount of chili powder you use if you are using a different brand than what is common in Canada, especially when serving this to children.
