Ingredients
  

Roasted sweet potatoes
  • 1.5 lb sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 0.25 salt
  • 0.25 pepper
  • 1 cinnamon
Taco-seasoned ground beef
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp hot honey
Toppings
  • 1 large avocado
  • 2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 0.25 red chili flakes

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Roast the sweet potatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with avocado oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon, then spread them in a single layer on the sheet.
  3. Roast at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes until tender and caramelized, turning once halfway through if needed.
Cook the taco beef
  1. Sear the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
  2. Stir in taco seasoning and tomato paste, cooking just until evenly coated and fragrant.
  3. Add hot honey and cook until the beef looks glossy and the sauce clings to the meat.
Assemble the bowls
  1. Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and seasoned beef between bowls.
  2. Top each bowl with low-fat cottage cheese and sliced avocado.
  3. Drizzle with more hot honey and sprinkle with red chili flakes before serving.

Notes

For meal prep, keep components separate: refrigerate roasted sweet potatoes and taco beef up to 4 days; assemble just before eating for the best texture. Hot honey can be swapped for regular honey mixed with a pinch of chili flakes if you prefer less heat. For a lighter option, use extra-lean ground beef or swap cottage cheese for fat-free if you want fewer calories—both still work well with the warm toppings.
