For the Beef
- 1 lbs 93/7 lean ground beef provides rich protein content

- 1 tbsp taco seasoning offers a burst of flavor
For the Assembly
- 2 cups 2% low fat cottage cheese creamy texture and mild flavor
- 4 small avocados adds creaminess and healthy fats

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a half baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray them with cooking spray and season with salt, pepper, and a hint of cinnamon.
- Bake the sweet potatoes for 30 minutes, turning them halfway through and adding more seasoning if needed.
Cooking the Beef
- While the sweet potatoes bake, heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart. Cook until fully browned, about five minutes.
- Drain any excess liquid from the pan.
- Stir in the tomato paste and taco seasoning along with a splash of water. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes while stirring.
Assembly
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, build your bowl starting with a layer of sweet potatoes, followed by the taco beef. Add a generous spoonful of cottage cheese and top with avocado slices.
- Drizzle the assembled bowls with hot honey before serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure sweet potatoes are cut evenly and let the beef brown fully. Adjust spices to taste and take your time with assembly for presentation.
