Equipment

1 Baking Sheet
1 Large skillet
1 Immersion blender

Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 small white onion diced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 large avocado diced
  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Whipped Cottage Cheese

  • 1 cup 1% milk fat cottage cheese
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice about half of a large lime
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon water

For the Hot Honey

  • 1 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice about half of a large lime

Instructions
 

To Cook the Sweet Potatoes

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper
  • In a large bowl toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
    2 large sweet potatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Spread out evenly on baking sheet. Don't let the sweet potatoes overlap as that will result in steaming, not roasting.
  • Roast for 15 minutes, flip and roast an additional 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are slightly crispy.

To Cook the Ground Beef

  • While the sweet potatoes are roasting, add onion and ground beef in a large skillet. Over medium heat, brown the ground beef and break into small pieces while cooking. Drain excess grease.
    1 lb. ground beef, 1 small white onion
  • Add taco seasoning and 1/3 cup water. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes.

To Make the Whipped Cottage Cheese

  • Add cottage cheese, lime juice, garlic powder, and water.
    1 cup 1% milk fat cottage cheese, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon water, 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • Blend together using an immersion blender, food processor, or handheld mixer.

To Make the Hot Honey

  • Combine honey, crushed red pepper flakes, and lime juice in a microwave safe bowl.
    1 cup honey, 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • Microwave for 30 seconds and mix well. Let it sit for a few minutes for the flavors to infuse in the honey.

Assemble The Bowl

  • Spoon ground beef, whipped cottage cheese, diced avocado, and roasted sweet potatoes into a large bowl. Drizzle with hot honey.

Notes

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the ground beef taco meat and whipped cottage cheese. This will help save time during the cooking process.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
For the hot honey, add an additional tablespoon of crushed red pepper flakes if you desire it to be hotter.
