Ingredients
Scale
2 medium/large sweet potato (cubed)
2 teaspoon olive or avocado oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 pound lean ground beef (90/10 recommended)
2–3 Tablespoons taco seasoning (adjust to taste)
2 Tablespoons water (if needed)
1 cup cottage cheese
1 avocado (chopped)
4 teaspoons hot honey
hot sauce, pickled onions and/or hot and sweet jalapeños (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss cubed sweet potatoes with oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 min, flipping halfway. Can use an air fryer.
- While sweet potatoes cook, heat a skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef, breaking it apart. Cook 6-7 min until browned. Add taco seasoning and water if needed.
- Divide roasted sweet potatoes between four bowls. Top with cooked ground beef, then spoon cottage cheese over each. Add avocado, hot sauce, a drizzle of hot honey and enjoy!
Notes
- For meal prep, cook sweet potatoes and beef ahead. Store separately and assemble fresh with cold toppings.
- Use low-sodium taco seasoning to control salt content.
- Ground turkey or chicken are excellent lean protein substitutes.
- For a vegetarian version, use seasoned lentils or black beans in place of beef.
