Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil, divided
- 30 g taco seasoning (homemade or 1 packet)
- 500 g lean beef mince/ground beef
- 2 cups dairy-free cottage cheese (or regular)
- 1 large avocado, peeled and diced

Instructions
- Wash sweet potatoes and cut into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes. In a bowl, toss with 1 tbsp oil and 1 tsp taco seasoning until coated.
- Cook sweet potatoes: In an air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes, shaking occasionally. Or roast in a 220°C (425°F) oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway.

- Mix everything together before serving to enjoy a bit of each flavour in every bite.
Notes
Pro Tips: For the best texture, cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes and cook in a single layer. This bowl is perfect for meal prep – store the sweet potato and beef mixture separately from the cottage cheese and avocado. Add fresh avocado just before serving. If you're not a fan of cottage cheese, a dollop of Greek yogurt works beautifully. Adjust the amount of hot honey to your taste. For a gluten-free version, ensure your taco seasoning is certified gluten-free.
