Ingredients
- 2 sweet potato cubed, medium or large
- 2 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 pound ground beef I like 90/10, lean
- 2-3 Tablespoons taco seasoning adjust to taste

- 1 cup cottage cheese I like good culture
- 1 avocado chopped
- 4 teaspoons hot honey

- jalapeños hot and sweet jalapeños, pickled onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss cubed sweet potatoes with oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. You can also cook these in your air fryer.
- While the sweet potatoes cook, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes. Add taco seasoning and If needed, add a little water for extra moisture.
- Divide roasted sweet potatoes between four bowls. Top with cooked ground beef, then spoon cottage cheese over each bowl. Add avocado, hot sauce and a drizzle with hot honey and enjoy!
