Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Seasoning

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (93% preferred)
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 taco seasoning packet (or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Dairy

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)

Oils and Garnishes

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 2 tbsp hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional garnishes: chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, lime wedge

Instructions

  1. Prep and Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 40 to 45 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, sprinkle with taco seasoning, and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to blend flavors well.
  3. Assemble Bowls: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes evenly into serving bowls. Layer the cooked ground beef mixture on top of the sweet potatoes. Add sliced avocado and a generous spoonful of cottage cheese to each bowl.
  4. Add Hot Honey and Garnish: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of hot honey over each assembled bowl to add a sweet and spicy kick. Optionally, garnish with chopped cilantro, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, or a wedge of lime to brighten the flavors. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can make your own taco seasoning with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper for a fresher taste.
  • Adjust the hot honey amount to your heat preference or substitute with regular honey if you prefer less spice.
  • Roasting sweet potatoes at high heat brings out their natural sweetness and creates a nice caramelized texture.
  • Using lean ground beef keeps the dish lighter and reduces excess grease.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative or omit it.
