Ingredients Method Notes

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
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 taco seasoning packet (or 2 tbsp homemade)
  • 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

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and caramelized.
  4. While sweet potatoes roast, heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  7. Stir in taco seasoning and garlic powder, add a splash of water if needed, and cook for another 3-5 minutes until well combined and beef is cooked through.
  8. Divide roasted sweet potatoes and taco-seasoned ground beef evenly among 4 bowls.
  9. Top each bowl with sliced avocado and a scoop of cottage cheese.
  10. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp hot honey over each bowl for the perfect sweet and spicy finish.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a milder version, reduce the hot honey or omit it altogether. This bowl is great for meal prep and stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Swap cottage cheese with Greek yogurt if preferred.
