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.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the taco seasoning to your taste or swap in ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. Add toppings like sliced jalapeños, red pepper flakes, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra flavor. This bowl is also great for meal prep—just store individual portions in airtight containers and reheat as needed. Pair with a simple green salad or warm tortillas for a complete meal.
