Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1-2 avocados sliced
  • 1 lb lean ground beef or ground chicken/turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning ~3 tbsp, I prefer Siete
  • 2 sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2-1 cup cilantro chopped
  • hot honey for drizzling
  • optional: jalapeños, red pepper flakes, squeeze of lime juice

Instructions

  • Prepare roasted sweet potatoes. You can use the air fryer or oven:
    -Air fryer: Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss sweet potatoes in 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Add sweet potatoes to the air fryer basket and air fry for about 12-15 minutes until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
    -Oven: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss sweet potatoes in 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Add sweet potatoes to a parchment-lined or oiled baking sheet and roast for 25-35 minutes, until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  • While potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tbsp olive oil on medium heat. Add lean ground beef and taco seasoning. Break meat apart as it cooks and continue cooking on medium heat for about 7-10 minutes or completely cooked through (no pink).
  • Assemble bowls: Add ¼ of the ground beef, ¼ of sweet potatoes, ½ cup of cottage cheese, ¼ - ½ avocado slices, and cilantro. Drizzle with hot honey and red pepper flakes to taste. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and jalapeño slices (fresh or pickled) if desired.
