Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef (93%)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 sliced avocado
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 diced yellow onion
Seasonings & Oils
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp)
- 2 tbsp hot honey
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Garnishes
- Chopped cilantro
- Red pepper flakes
- Lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat and Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. 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 crispiness.
- Sauté Onions: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking the meat apart with a spatula until browned and fully cooked. Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute to blend the flavors.
- Assemble the Bowls: Begin by placing the roasted sweet potatoes at the bottom of the bowl. Layer the seasoned ground beef on top, then add sliced avocado and a generous scoop of cottage cheese.
- Finish with Hot Honey: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of hot honey over each assembled bowl generously. Add optional garnishes such as chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, or a squeeze of lime juice to enhance flavors.
- Serve: Serve the bowls immediately while warm and enjoy a deliciously balanced meal.
Notes
- For a milder version, substitute hot honey with regular honey or reduce the amount to 1 tablespoon.
- Ensure sweet potatoes are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Store each component separately if meal prepping to maintain freshness.
- Ground turkey or tofu can easily substitute ground beef for different protein options.
