Equipment

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground beef I used 85% lean
1 package taco seasoning
1 avocado sliced
1 jalapeño sliced
1/4 cup red onion sliced
1/4 cup tortilla strips
2 Tablespoons hot honey
1 Tablespoon cilantro minced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Wash and chop the sweet potatoes into 1 inch pieces. (I left the skins on, but you can peel them if you prefer.)
Toss sweet potatoes with 1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are in the oven, brown the ground beef in a medium skillet, crumbling it as you go. Season with taco seasoning.
Slice and chop the toppings to taste.
Assemble bowls by combining sweet potatoes, ground beef, and cottage cheese. Top with sliced avocado, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and tortilla strips. Drizzle with hot honey.

Make Ahead & Storage Tips

These bowls are easy to prep ahead for lunches and dinners throughout the week. Simply roast the sweet potatoes and brown & season the ground beef, then portion the sweet potatoes, ground beef, and cottage cheese into individual serving containers. Chop your toppings and store them separately, adding them just before serving.
