Ingredients

Scale

Ground Beef and Seasoning

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (93% lean preferred)
  • 1 taco seasoning packet (or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Assembly and Garnish

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 2 tbsp hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional garnish: chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, lime wedge

Instructions

  1. Prep and Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). In a bowl, toss the peeled and diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef to the skillet, sprinkle with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if desired.
  3. Assemble Bowls: To assemble, start by layering a generous portion of the roasted sweet potatoes in each bowl. Top with the seasoned ground beef, then add sliced avocado and a scoop of cottage cheese for creaminess.
  4. Add Hot Honey: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of hot honey evenly over each bowl. For extra flavor, garnish with chopped cilantro, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, or a lime wedge if you like. Serve immediately for a warm and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of hot honey or adding more red pepper flakes.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure the taco seasoning packet is gluten-free or make your own seasoning blend.
  • Homemade hot honey can be made by gently heating honey with chili flakes to infuse heat.
  • To make this dish vegetarian, substitute ground beef with cooked lentils or plant-based meat alternatives.
  • Leftover roasted sweet potatoes and beef can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated before assembling the bowl.
