Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups low -fat cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 packet (approx. 3 tbsp) low-sodium taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 2 ripe avocados , diced
  • 2 tbsp hot honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime , cut into wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and the edges are caramelized.
  • While potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until no longer pink (approx. 7-10 minutes).
  • Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Simmer for 2 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and meat is well-coated.
  • Assemble the bowls by placing 1/4 of the roasted sweet potatoes and 1/4 of the taco beef in each dish.
  • Add 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and 1/2 of a diced avocado to each bowl.
  • Drizzle each portion with hot honey and garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
