Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt, ensuring each piece is coated. Spread on a baking sheet.
  2. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast sweet potatoes for 40–45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy on the outside.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced yellow onion and sauté for about 3–4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  4. Increase the heat slightly, add the lean ground beef, and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking apart as it cooks. Add taco seasoning and mix evenly, adjusting to taste.
  5. Assemble the bowl by layering sweet potatoes, seasoned ground beef, avocado slices, and cottage cheese in a serving bowl.
  6. Drizzle hot honey over the assembled bowl and add optional garnishes as desired.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors.
