Hot Honey: This sweet and spicy honey is the magic touch. You can whip up your own in just 2 minutes.

Sweet Potatoes: A great source of complex carbs.

Cottage Cheese: Adds a protein boost and makes every bite super creamy.

Visual Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Peel and dice your sweet potatoes. Toss them in a bowl with a bit of oil, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes. No air fryer? No problem—roast them in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes.

Step 3

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, heat a skillet with some olive oil. Add the ground beef, taco seasoning, and tomato paste. Sauté for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add the sweet potatoes, avocado, ground beef, and cottage cheese to a bowl. Drizzle with hot honey and dig in!
