Ingredients

2 medium/large sweet potatoes, cubed

2 tsp olive or avocado oil

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/8 tsp black pepper

1 lb lean ground beef (90/10 preferred)

2–3 tbsp taco seasoning

2 tbsp water (if needed)

1 cup cottage cheese

1 avocado, chopped

4 tsp hot honey

Hot sauce (optional)

Pickled onions (optional)

Sweet and hot jalapeños (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 6–7 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and water if needed.
  4. Divide roasted sweet potatoes between four bowls. Top with cooked beef, then spoon cottage cheese over each bowl.
  5. Add chopped avocado, a drizzle of hot honey, hot sauce, and optional toppings like pickled onions and jalapeños. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store beef, sweet potatoes, and toppings separately in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat beef and sweet potatoes before serving, then top with cold toppings.
  • Customize by swapping beef with turkey or plant-based protein and cottage cheese with Greek yogurt.
  • Use an air fryer to crisp sweet potatoes faster—400°F for 15 minutes, shaking halfway.
