Ingredients

Scale

Ground Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 taco seasoning packet

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

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

Assembly

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp hot honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes, ensuring they cook evenly and get nicely caramelized.
  2. Prepare and Roast Sweet Potatoes: Toss the diced sweet potatoes in olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 40 to 45 minutes until they are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
  3. Cook Ground Beef Mixture: While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat with a bit of olive oil. Sauté the diced yellow onion until softened, then add the ground beef and taco seasoning. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  4. Assemble Bowls: Once the sweet potatoes and beef are ready, start layering your bowls. Begin with a base of roasted sweet potatoes, add a generous portion of the seasoned ground beef mixture, then top with sliced avocado and a scoop of creamy cottage cheese.
  5. Finish with Hot Honey Drizzle: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of hot honey over each bowl just before serving to add a perfect spicy-sweet finish that ties all the flavors together.

  • This recipe can be made gluten-free by ensuring the taco seasoning packet is gluten-free.
