This bowl has been all over TikTok, and it earns it. Roasted sweet potato, taco-seasoned beef, cottage cheese, avocado, and a generous drizzle of hot honey. The sweet potato goes in the oven first, then the beef takes five minutes on the stovetop, and assembly takes two. High protein, filling, and one you'd make at home without a second thought.
"This one surprised me. Cottage cheese sounds like an odd bowl ingredient until you try it, and then you'll put it on everything. The hot honey ties it all together. High protein, genuinely filling, and something I'd make at home without thinking twice. The sweet potato goes in the oven while the beef takes five minutes on the stovetop."

Recipe
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tbsp neutral oil
Salt and pepper
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
500g ground beef (lean preferred)
2 tbsp taco seasoning
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 cups cottage cheese
2 avocados, cubed or sliced
4 tbsp hot honey, or to taste
Method
Roast the sweet potato. Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss the cubed sweet potato in oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and add cinnamon if using. Spread onto a roasting tray and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges are crispy and the inside is soft.
Cook the beef. While the sweet potato roasts, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up as it cooks. Once browned, add the taco seasoning and tomato paste and stir through. Cook for another 2 minutes. Season to taste.
Slice the avocado.
Build the bowls. Divide sweet potato between 4 bowls. Add beef, a generous scoop of cottage cheese, and avocado.
Finish with hot honey. Drizzle over each bowl generously. Serve immediately.
