Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (93% preferred)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 1 yellow onion, diced

Seasonings and Condiments

  • 1 taco seasoning packet (or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)
  • 2 tbsp hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Oils

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)

Instructions

  1. Prep and Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 40 to 45 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Then, add the ground beef and sprinkle in the taco seasoning. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  3. Assemble Bowls: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes evenly among your serving bowls. Top each with a generous portion of the seasoned ground beef. Arrange sliced avocado on the side and add a scoop of cottage cheese to each bowl to balance the heat and add creaminess.
  4. Add Hot Honey: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of hot honey evenly over each bowl, letting the sweet and spicy flavor tie all the ingredients together. Optionally, garnish with chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, or a wedge of lime for added freshness and a kick.

Notes

  • Sweet potatoes can be parboiled for 5 minutes before roasting to reduce cooking time.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey according to your preferred spice level.
  • Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese depending on your dietary needs.
  • Homemade taco seasoning can be used as a healthier alternative to store-bought packets.
  • Garnishing with fresh cilantro and lime adds freshness and brightness to the bowl.
