Hot Honey Sweet Potato Beef Bowls
Roasted sweet potatoes, taco-seasoned beef, cool cottage cheese, and avocado, finished with a little hot honey.
Serves 4 · About 40 minutes
What you’ll need
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 lb total), peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1–2 tbsp taco seasoning, to taste
- ¼ cup water
- 1½ cups cottage cheese
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 2 tbsp hot honey, or to taste
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro, optional
Let’s make it
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a large sheet pan.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning after about 15 minutes, until the centers are tender and the edges have browned.
- While the potatoes roast, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small pieces. Cook until the beef reaches 160°F, then carefully drain excess fat.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning and ¼ cup water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes. Taste the cooked beef and add more seasoning if wanted; blends vary in salt and heat.
- Divide the sweet potatoes and beef between four bowls. Add ⅜ cup cottage cheese and half an avocado to each bowl.
- Drizzle each bowl with about ½ tablespoon hot honey. Finish with lime and optional cilantro. Serve while the beef and potatoes are hot and the cottage cheese is cool.
Make it work for you. Hot honey supplies the sweet-spicy finish. Use plain honey for a milder bowl. Trader Joe’s products and availability vary, so any matching ground beef, cottage cheese, taco seasoning, or hot honey works.
