Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

Sweet Potato Roasting

  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Taco Beef

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 2-3 teaspoons water

Street Corn Salsa

  • 1 cup canned corn drained
  • 1 cup plain cottage cheese blended smooth
  • 1.5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 small jalapeño finely diced (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped

For Serving

  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Tajín (chili-lime seasoning)
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Potatoes: Get your oven hot to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss your cubed sweet potatoes with avocado oil, a sprinkle of salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on the sheet.
  • Roast to Perfection: Pop them in the oven for 25-35 minutes, giving them a flip halfway through, until they're tender and beautifully caramelized.
  • Brown the Beef: While potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until it's nicely browned and no longer pink. Drain any extra grease.
  • Season the Beef: Stir in the taco seasoning along with 2-3 teaspoons of water. Let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Whip up the Salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained corn, blended cottage cheese, fresh lime juice, finely diced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro. Stir everything together until it's wonderfully creamy and well-mixed. Taste and adjust lime or salt if you like!
  • Assemble Your Bowl: Divide the warm roasted sweet potatoes among your serving bowls. Top each with a generous portion of the seasoned taco beef, then add a big scoop of your vibrant street corn salsa.
  • Finish & Serve: Garnish with sliced avocado, a sprinkle of Tajín, and a delicious drizzle of hot honey. Enjoy your healthy, flavorful bowl immediately!
