Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef:

  • 24 oz lean ground beef (93%)

  • 23 tbsp taco seasoning

  • ¼ cup water

  • Avocado oil spray

For the Sweet Potatoes:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

  • Salt, pepper, avocado oil spray

Street Corn Salsa:

  • 2 cups corn (fire-roasted preferred)

  • ½ cup blended low-fat cottage cheese

  • 2 tbsp light mayo

  • 3 tbsp cotija cheese (or feta)

  • Juice + zest of 1 lime

  • 12 jalapeños, diced

  • 23 tbsp cilantro, chopped

  • 1 avocado, cubed

  • 1 tsp Tajín (optional)


Instructions

  1. Roast Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potato cubes with cornstarch, salt, pepper, and oil spray. Roast 25–30 mins on a parchment-lined tray, flipping halfway.

  2. Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook beef until browned (5–7 mins). Add taco seasoning + water, simmer until thick and flavorful.

  3. Make Salsa: Blend cottage cheese until smooth. Stir in mayo, lime zest/juice, jalapeños, and Tajín. Fold in corn, cotija, cilantro, and avocado last.

  4. Assemble Bowls: Layer sweet potatoes, beef, and a generous scoop of salsa in each bowl. Top with lime wedges and extra cotija if desired.

Notes

  • For crispier potatoes: don’t overcrowd the baking tray!

  • Keep salsa and avocado separate until serving if prepping ahead.

  • Add greens or tortilla chips for crunch and extra flair!
