If you've spent any time on FoodTok this year, you've seen this bowl. It combines everything we want in a meal prep: it hits over 40g of protein, it's incredibly filling thanks to the fiber in the sweet potatoes, and the flavor profile is out of this world.

The combination of savory taco meat, creamy cottage cheese (which melts into a queso-like consistency), and sweet-spicy hot honey is addictive. It's the perfect balance of sweet, savory, spicy, and creamy.

Ingredients You Need

Ingredients Layout

• 1 lb lean ground beef (93/7)
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 2 tbsp hot honey (like Mike's Hot Honey)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for 25 minutes until crispy.

2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for 3 minutes.

3. Assemble your bowls by layering the roasted sweet potatoes at the base.

4. Top with the seasoned ground beef and sliced avocado.

5. Add a generous scoop of cottage cheese directly in the center of the warm beef (it will soften and become incredibly creamy).

6. Drizzle the hot honey generously over the entire bowl right before serving.
