Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Dairy

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 1 yellow onion, diced

Meat

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (93% preferred)

Seasonings and Oils

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

Instructions

  1. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a bowl, toss the peeled and diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 40–45 minutes until they are caramelized and tender.
  2. Cook Ground Beef and Onions: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the diced yellow onion for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the ground beef along with the taco seasoning. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through.
  3. Assemble Bowls: Once your sweet potatoes and beef are ready, start assembling your bowls by placing a layer of roasted sweet potatoes first. Add the seasoned ground beef on top of the sweet potatoes. Then, add sliced avocado and a generous scoop of cottage cheese to each bowl.
  4. Finish with Hot Honey: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of hot honey over each bowl before serving to add a perfect balance of sweet heat that complements the savory and creamy ingredients.

Notes

  • You can substitute homemade taco seasoning for the packet to control the ingredients.
  • Roasting the sweet potatoes until caramelized enhances their natural sweetness.
  • If you prefer, swap cottage cheese with Greek yogurt or sour cream for a different creamy texture.
  • The hot honey drizzle can be adjusted to taste or replaced with regular honey for less spice.
