For the Bowl
- 2 medium sweet potatoes cubed into ½ inch pieces
- 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 Tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 avocados peeled, seeded, and sliced
- Hot honey for serving
- Salt
For the homemade taco seasoning * see note
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic
- ¼ teaspoon onion
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- A dash of cayenne pepper
Toss the sweet potatoes with 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Spread them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 10–13 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until tender and golden on the edges. Work in batches if necessary.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients of the taco seasoning.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Stir in the taco seasoning and tomato paste. Add a splash of water if necessary.
In serving bowls, divide the beef, sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, and avocados. Drizzle the hot honey and enjoy. **See note for garnish suggestion.
