Optional Additions
- Fresh cilantro or scallions for garnish
- Lime wedges for added brightness
- Cooked rice or quinoa as a grain base
- Pickled red onions for a tangy kick
- Black beans or corn for extra fiber
Tips for Success
- Roast the sweet potatoes until caramelized and slightly crispy on the edges—don’t undercook them.
- Use high-quality ground beef or ground turkey for a lighter option.
- If using a spicy seasoning, taste before adding extra heat from the hot honey.
- Chill the cottage cheese before serving for maximum contrast in texture and temperature.
- Layer thoughtfully: start with warm ingredients and finish with creamy and sweet elements.
Instructions
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and golden. - Cook the Ground Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if needed. Stir in taco seasoning with a splash of water; simmer for 2–3 minutes to coat evenly. - Assemble the Bowls:
Divide the roasted sweet potatoes between two bowls. Add taco-seasoned beef, diced avocado, and a generous spoonful of cottage cheese. - Drizzle and Garnish:
Finish with a drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey and optional toppings like cilantro or lime juice.
