Ingredients

2 medium/large sweet potato (cubed)
2 teaspoon olive or avocado oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 pound lean ground beef (I like 90/10)
2-3 Tablespoons taco seasoning (adjust to taste)

Steps

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!

This was delicious and will be on repeat!!! I do have a question on number of servings. You say divide sweet potato’s into two bowls but in the nutritional information, it says a serving is 1/4 of recipe. Could you clarify ?

I'm not a big fan of cottage cheese, but the flavors combined into a delicious combination. My 4-year-old ate the entire meal and asked for seconds!
