Directions

Prepare roasted sweet potatoes. You can use the air fryer or oven: -Air fryer: Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss sweet potatoes in 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Add sweet potatoes to the air fryer basket and air fry for about 12-15 minutes until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.-Oven: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss sweet potatoes in 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Add sweet potatoes to a parchment-lined or oiled baking sheet and roast for 25-35 minutes, until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.

While potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tbsp olive oil on medium heat. Add lean ground beef and taco seasoning. Break meat apart as it cooks and continue cooking on medium heat for about 7-10 minutes or completely cooked through (no pink).

Assemble bowls: Add ¼ of the ground beef, ¼ of sweet potatoes, ½ cup of cottage cheese, ¼ - ½ avocado slices, and cilantro. Drizzle with hot honey and red pepper flakes to taste. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and jalapeño slices (fresh or pickled) if desired.
